King of the Hill — HotA 1.3.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

King of the Hill is a small 36 by 36 map with an underground level, rated hard, for Horn of the Abyss 1.3.0 and later. Eight players each start with a randomly chosen faction, and all eight slots can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Lava covers a little under two fifths of the terrain, with subterranean ground, grass and rock making up most of the rest. The map is set around a conflict between eight rival lords whose hatred is compared to a volcano about to erupt. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player is eliminated once they lose every town and hero. Scattered across the land are nine towns, fifty wandering monster stacks, thirty-three randomly placed artifacts, eighteen mines, eleven creature banks and two timed events.
