Pursuit of abundance — HotA 1.8.0

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Pursuit of Abundance is a single-player medium-sized underground map for Horn of the Abyss 1.8.0 and later, rated Impossible. The lone human hero, playing as Rampart, must transport a specific artifact to win, and the game ends if the time limit of 84 days runs out first. The map is roughly 16 percent water, with the rest mostly rock and grass and a little sand. Two towns are available, and the terrain is seeded with wandering monsters such as Dendroid Guards, Wood Elves, Battle Dwarves and Grand Elves, along with dwellings that include Unicorns and Crystal Dragons. Fourteen random artifacts, nine mines, four seer huts, and two monoliths or portals are scattered across the level. The author's description frames the quest around a legendary Cornucopia and a tight deadline.
