War Next To Hell's Entrance — HotA 1.3.0+

War Next To Hell's Entrance is a medium 72x72 two-player underground map by Listopadek, built for Horn of the Abyss 1.3.0 or later and rated hard. Two human players can take part, each starting with a random faction, and there are no teams or computer-only colors. Rock covers about a third of the terrain, with water around a fifth, alongside dirt and grass. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds four towns, sixteen mines, sixteen creature banks, and four seer huts, with wandering Efreet Sultans, Ice Elementals, Phoenixes, and Arch Devils. A Bird of Perception is placed on the map, and a portal through hell offers a somewhat faster route to the opponent. The author recommends it for simultaneous turns.
