- The Mysterious Island - — HotA 1.8.1

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Mysterious Island is a giant 252x252 map for Horn of the Abyss (1.8.1 or later), with an underground level and an expert difficulty rating. Its theme draws on Jules Verne, and the author promises many quests, hidden paths, and plot twists, with powerful spells unlocked gradually as play progresses. Eight players are placed, with Red and Pink controlled by the computer only, so up to six humans can take part, and there are no fixed teams. Factions range from Inferno, Tower, and Necropolis to Cove, Conflux, and Dungeon, with most colors starting with two. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Water covers about 39 percent of the land, with rock, lava, and subterranean terrain making up much of the rest. The map holds 37 towns, a Grail, and many quest guards, mines, and creature banks, along with 51 random artifacts.
