The Sin of the Father — HotA 1.7.3

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Sin of the Father is a giant, two-level underground map by AleksanderO2003, measuring 252 by 252 tiles and designed for Horn of the Abyss 1.7.3 or later. It is rated Impossible and supports eight players, all of them human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each color starts with a different town type: Castle, Tower, Rampart, Conflux, Stronghold, Fortress, Dungeon and Necropolis. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once every town and hero is gone. Water covers about a quarter of the map, with lava and rock making up much of the rest. The description frames the story around Lord Haart's return from the grave and a looming threat from the Army of Darkness. Expect many wandering monsters, 132 creature banks, 167 mines, 71 seer huts, and a Grail placed on the map.

Author's description

Antagrich is torn by endless war. As kingdoms clash and heroes fall, Lord Haart has risen from the grave, his soul bound to the demon Xeron. While the world is blinded by conflict, a new threat brews in the shadows — the Army of Darkness prepares to strike.
