Kill the Evil Lord — HotA 1.8.0

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Kill the Evil Lord is a small, hard two-player map for Horn of the Abyss 1.8.0 and later, set on a 36 by 36 board with an underground level. The land is mostly grass and rock, with a little subterranean ground and no water. One human player faces one computer-controlled opponent, and a second computer colour is also present, with no teams. The human plays Castle against a Necropolis foe. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, while losing a particular town ends the game. Scattered across the map are 31 wandering monster stacks, two towns, 18 mines, and the Grail. Dwellings offer Pikemen, Archers, Swordsmen, Pegasi and Efreet, and placed artifacts include the Boots of Polarity, Cape of Velocity and Endless Sack of Gold.
