The Arrival is an Extra Large underground map measuring 144 by 144 for Horn of the Abyss 1.8.0 or later, rated Expert. Eight players share the field, with up to four humans, grouped into seven teams. Red, Blue, Tan and Green may choose any of eleven factions, while Orange, Purple, Teal and Pink are computer-only, limited to Conflux, Cove, Dungeon and Necropolis. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers 28 percent of the land. Expect 24 towns, 21 placed heroes, the Grail, and wandering Azure Dragons, Phoenixes and elementals. Its theme is a slow decline with dark powers stirring beyond the horizon.
