Helm's Deep — HotA 1.8.0
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Helm's Deep is a small 36 by 36 map for Horn of the Abyss 1.8.0 and later, played on a single surface level with no underground. It supports two players, though only one can be human, so the second side, Blue with a Stronghold, is controlled by the computer. The Red side fields a Castle. Teams are not used, and the game is set to Normal difficulty. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. The land is mostly grass with patches of swamp and no water. Scattered across it are two towns, four starting heroes, a dozen mines, and one creature bank, along with wandering stacks of skeletons, hobgoblins, wood elves, and other creatures. Placed artifacts include the Everflowing Crystal Cloak and the Inexhaustible Cart of Lumber.
