Vasilisa and Baba Yaga — HotA 1.8.0

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Vasilisa and Baba Yaga is a medium 72 by 72 underground map for eight players, with one human player at most and seven computer-controlled colors. Its theme takes after a folk tale about a clever young woman and her unpredictable grandmother. There are no teams. The factions in play are Castle, Stronghold, Fortress, Conflux, Necropolis, Rampart, Inferno, and Dungeon. Victory requires acquiring the Orb of Vulnerability, and a player loses if a specific hero is defeated. The terrain is mostly grass, swamp, lava, and water, with water covering about 18 percent. Notable features include seven wandering Ghost Dragon stacks, dwellings holding Angels, Hydras, and Firebirds, and 21 quest guards alongside 16 creature banks.
