The Spire — HotA 1.7.2+
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Spire is an Extra Large 144x144 underground map by Memtejko, built for Horn of the Abyss 1.7.2 and later, and rated Expert. It supports eight players, all of them human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each player starts with a different town: Inferno, Tower, Fortress, Rampart, Factory, Cove, Stronghold, and Necropolis. Victory requires upgrading a specific town, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Rock, water, and subterranean ground make up most of the terrain, with water covering about a third of the map. The map holds twelve towns, ten pre-placed heroes, the Grail, and five named gold artifacts, along with many mines, creature banks, and monoliths. Wandering nymphs and steel golems are common, and the dwellings include several dragon types.
