The Azure Coast — HotA 1.8.0
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Azure Coast is an Extra Large 144 by 144 standard map for five players, with each player controlling their own faction and no teams. Its theme, drawn from the author's description, is a royal hunt in the southern lands for the Azure Dragon, the most fearsome creature there. Play is set on Impossible difficulty, with Stronghold, Rampart, Castle, Inferno and Necropolis present, and all five seats can be human. Victory comes from accumulating 30 creatures' worth of strength, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers about 27 percent of the map, with sand, grass and dirt making up most of the rest. Azure Dragons roam the map in 21 stacks, alongside Crystal and Green Dragons, and the map holds 23 towns, 46 mines and 18 monoliths and portals.
