The Devil Is In The Detail [I] — HotA 1.7.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Devil Is In The Detail [I] is a giant underground map by koget, built for Horn of the Abyss 1.7.0 or later on the Impossible difficulty. Its 252 by 252 tiles span both surface and underground levels, and the story is that six nations who long lived in peace must face monsters rising from below. Eight colors are set up, with six open to human players and Teal and Pink reserved for the computer, grouped into seven teams. The factions are Castle, Tower, Rampart, Cove, Stronghold, Fortress, Dungeon and Necropolis. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Rock covers about 39 percent of the land and water about 15 percent. Highlights include the Grail, Armageddon's Blade, the Endless Purse of Gold, and the Necklace of Ocean Guidance, along with 16 Sea Serpent stacks roaming the waters.
