Helgardh — HotA 1.5.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Helgardh is an extra large underground map for eight players, each playing a different faction: Inferno, Tower, Castle, Rampart, Dungeon, Necropolis, Cove and Fortress. All eight can be human, there are no teams, and the difficulty is set to Impossible. The 144 by 144 tiles are split between water, which covers about 35 percent, plus dirt, lava and grass. The story, as the author tells it, follows gods casting out the beings of many realms into this underworld, where they still plan to break free of their lands and defeat their old enemies. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. The map holds 36 towns and 13 pre-placed heroes, along with 123 mines, 106 creature banks, 45 monoliths and portals, and many artifacts. Wandering Master Genies, Green Dragons and Giants are among the more frequent stacks.

Author's description

Po wielu latach wojen Bogowie powiedzieli dość i strącili istoty wielu królestw do Helgardh'u. Jednak uwięzieni nie mają zamiaru rezygnować z dalszej walki i nawet tutaj znajdą sposób na to, aby uwolnić się z przyporządkowanych im przez bogów krain i pokonać swoich odwiecznych wrogów.
