The Great Race — HotA 1.8.0
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Great Race is a medium-sized, 72 by 72 map for four players, all of them human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The author's description centers on a nobleman who must rescue a princess imprisoned in a high tower after her wedding is called off because of a curse. Red starts with Castle, Rampart, Tower, Stronghold and Fortress, Green with Inferno, Necropolis and Dungeon, while Blue and Tan get random towns. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is mostly grass, with dirt, rough ground and some sand. Players will find seven seer huts, thirteen creature banks, eight monoliths and portals, and seven named artifacts, including the Speculum and the Talisman of Mana.
