The Griffin People — HotA 1.8.0

The Griffin People is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles, set on Normal difficulty and built for Horn of the Abyss 1.8.0 or later. Eight factions share the valley, with Castle, Stronghold, Inferno, Fortress, Tower, Conflux, Necropolis, and Rampart all in play. Only one seat is open to a human player, the other seven are computer-controlled, and there are no teams. The backdrop is a griffin army under a leader named Dimchipik, which seized the valley while its peoples were divided. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers 48 percent of the terrain, with grass at 14, water at 10, and swamp at 8. Royal Griffin stacks roam the map, which also holds the Grail, eleven random artifacts, and nine monoliths or portals.
