jOjO defense trail [HotA 1.8] — HotA 1.8.0

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

jOjO defense trail is an 18 by 18 custom Horn of the Abyss 1.8.0 map with an underground level and an Expert difficulty rating. Four players are placed, but only one can be human, and the other three colors are computer-only: Red and Blue are Stronghold, Tan is Dungeon, and Orange is random. Teams are split into two. The story is that the old tournament has ended and the remaining men need help, so the human player must defend a castle against waves of enemies without losing too many troops. The terrain is mostly lava, with dirt, highlands and sand making up much of the rest, and about six percent water. Notable features include a Serpent Fly and a Dreadnought roaming the map, Troglodyte dwellings, and a timed event. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while losing a specific town ends the game.
