Piraci i Kupcy — HotA 1.3.0+
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Pirates and Merchants is a sea-focused map by Soczek, built for Horn of the Abyss 1.3.0 or later on an extra huge 216 by 216 grid with an underground level. It is rated Expert. Water covers about 56 percent of the map, with rock, swamp, and dirt making up most of the rest. Seven colors take part: five can be human-played, and two are computer-only, one holding the Cove and one the Fortress. Each of the five human-capable colors can field all seven towns. The author's notes link the colors to several European nations, a pirate faction, and indigenous peoples. Victory requires flagging all 68 mines, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Notable features include 86 creature banks, six monoliths and portals, Dragon Flies and Cyclops Kings wandering the map, and artifacts such as the Necklace of Ocean Guidance.
