New Year's Bang — HotA 1.6.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

New Year's Bang is a hard, medium-sized map of 72 by 72 tiles with an underground level, created by Popcioslav for three players, all of whom can be human. There are no teams. Its premise is a huge maw that appeared on New Year's Eve and swallowed half a continent, drawing the curiosity of elementalists and mages. Orange has ten factions available, Purple plays Cove, and Teal plays Conflux. Rock covers about 30 percent of the map, followed by water at 19 percent, wasteland at 17 percent, and highlands at 13 percent. Five towns are present, with one hero placed at the start. Steel golems roam in ten stacks, and the map contains 29 creature banks, 14 monoliths and portals, and ten placed artifacts, including the Tome of Fire Magic. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero.
