Gdansk XVIII — HotA 1.7.1+
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Gdansk XVIII is a giant underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Horn of the Abyss (version 1.7.1 or later), rated normal in difficulty. Its 252 by 252 tiles are mostly rock, with swamp, grass and water making up the rest, and the map has a dark, ruined feel suited to its setting. Eight player colors are defined, but only one can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled. The players form five teams. The factions are Castle, Stronghold, Cove, Dungeon and Necropolis. Victory comes from transporting one specific artifact, and a player loses by losing one specific hero. The map holds 34 towns, 33 mines, 66 seer huts, 36 monoliths and portals, and the Grail. Wandering Battle Dwarves and Gorgons are common, and the artifacts placed include the Golden Goose and Clover of Fortune.
