Gniezno 1295 — HotA 1.8.0
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Gniezno 1295 is a large surface map of 108 by 108 tiles for Horn of the Abyss 1.8.0 and later, set at expert difficulty. Eight players are placed, but only one can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled. The six teams field Dungeon, Necropolis (two colors), Castle, Rampart, Stronghold, Fortress, and Inferno. According to the author's description, the aim is to guide three members of different branches of the Piast family so that one can be crowned King of Poland in Gniezno. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and the game is lost if the 224-day limit runs out. The map holds 28 towns, 149 mines, 36 seer huts, and 33 monoliths and portals, with Ayssid and Dragon Fly stacks among the most common wandering monsters.
