One Way Ticket — HotA 1.7.0+
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
One Way Ticket is a single-player, underground Heroes III map of medium size (72 by 72) for Horn of the Abyss 1.7.0 and later, rated Impossible. Its terrain is largely water, rock, highlands and lava, and the only faction in play is the Castle, held by the Red player. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and the player loses by losing every town and hero. The map holds seven towns and six heroes, along with many wandering stacks such as Wights, Pit Lords and Wraiths, plus creature banks, seer huts, quest guards and monoliths and portals. The author describes it as an annoying solo challenge meant for experienced players, where preserving units in battle and searching for what is hidden are key.
