M. Python and the Holy Grail — HotA 1.8.0
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
This Extra Large 144 by 144 map has an underground level and supports up to eight human players, split into three teams, at Normal difficulty. Rock covers about a third of the terrain, with water at twenty percent and smaller shares of grass and lava. Seven players take Rampart, Castle, Necropolis, Dungeon, Fortress, Inferno, and Tower, while the Pink player gets a random faction. The map stresses teamwork in combat, and the Grail is a secondary goal. Players win by building a Grail structure and lose when they have no towns or heroes left. The board holds 18 towns, 14 starting heroes, five Gold Dragon stacks, 14 placed artifacts, and 12 monoliths and portals.
