The Alliance — HotA 1.3.0+

The Alliance is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map with an underground level, built for six players split into two teams, with all six seats open to human players. Its author's brief frames it as a war between a western and an eastern side, where the player and allies must wipe out the enemy. Factions are assigned randomly to every player, and the difficulty is rated Hard. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, while a player loses once every town and hero is gone. Terrain is a mix of grass, rock, water and subterranean ground, with water making up about a sixth of the surface. Nineteen towns and ten starting heroes are placed, and wandering Minotaur Kings and Minotaurs guard much of the map alongside several dragons. Ten named artifacts, including the Trident of Dominion and the Bird of Perception, are scattered across the land.
