LuckTest {(2026)} — HotA 1.8.1

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

LuckTest (2026) is a small two-player map for Horn of the Abyss 1.8.1 and later, set on a 36 by 36 grass-and-sand surface with no water and no underground level. Both seats are human-controlled, there are no computer-only colors and no teams, and each side receives a random faction. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. The author reworked several hero specialties, gave war machines to players who learn First Aid or Artillery, added magic terrains, and placed a Faerie Dragon in a Seer's hut. Each side starts with a hero, and the map includes two Seer's huts and one timed event.
