Guardian Angels — HotA 1.6.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Guardian Angels is a medium underground map by Begrezen, designed for Horn of the Abyss 1.6.0 and later, rated as hard. Spanning 72 by 72 tiles, it has a single player seat for a human, with two computer-only colors, Red and Orange, joining Blue in three-player teams of two against one. Red fields Castle and Inferno, Blue plays Castle, and Orange mixes Castle and Dungeon. Victory requires eliminating all enemies, while a loss occurs once all towns and heroes are gone. Heroes are capped at level 20. Most of the land is grass, rock, and lava, with little water. Ten towns, seventeen placed heroes, and many guarded mines, creature banks, and artifacts fill the map, including the Amulet of the Undertaker and Angel Wings. Two timed events add pressure.

Author's description

To win, you must capture all enemy towns and castles and defeat all enemy heroes. Your Heroes will be limited to 20th level in this scenario, but your 3 strongest Heroes will travel with you to the final scenario of this campaign.
