War in the Valley — HotA 1.8.0

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

War in the Valley, by Memtejko, is a medium 72x72 underground map for Horn of the Abyss 1.8.0 and later, set at normal difficulty for four players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each player may choose from the full list of ten factions. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The land is mostly highlands, rock, subterranean ground and dirt, with no water. The map holds eight towns and five heroes at the start, along with 16 mines, eight seer huts, 19 creature banks and 14 monoliths and portals. Wandering monsters include rogues, sandworms and trolls, and seven artifacts are scattered across the map, with the Grail also placed on it. Three timed events are included.

Author's description

Four rivals meet on the edge of an idyllic valley, where good and honest peasant folk dwell. Let’s hope this war does not harm the innocent bystanders!
