Revenge of the Old King — HotA 1.3.0+
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Revenge of the Old King is a medium underground map on a 72 by 72 grid, designed for Horn of the Abyss 1.3.0 or later at Normal difficulty. Five colors take part, with four seats open to human players and Pink reserved for the computer. Each player begins with a random faction, except Pink, which plays Necropolis. There are no fixed teams. The story follows a dying king who divided his realm among his sons, only for them to break their promise and fight for full control, and the old king returns from the dead. Victory requires defeating one specific hero, and a player loses if the timer runs out after 140 days. The land is mostly rock, grass and dirt, with some water and subterranean ground. Players will find 11 towns, 33 mines, 27 randomly placed artifacts, and an Archangel guarding a wandering stack.
