Ignis Novorum Dierum (HARD) — HotA 1.8.0
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Ignis Novorum Dierum (HARD) by Atarosek is a Giant-sized, 252 by 252 map for Horn of the Abyss 1.8.0 and later, with an underground level included. It is rated Hard and supports eight players, all of whom can be human, with no computer-only colors and no teams. Each player leads a different faction: Factory, Rampart, Castle, Necropolis, Dungeon, Tower, Stronghold and Bulwark. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. Nearly half the surface is water (48 percent), with snow, dirt and grass making up most of the rest. The map holds 48 towns, 875 random monster stacks, and a Grail, along with 168 mines, 178 creature banks, 39 monoliths and portals, and 43 seer huts. Wandering Azure Dragons and Crystal Dragons are among the stronger encounters.
