A Fast passed map with cobblestone roads, a witch hut with logistics for each player and two movement range artifacts for each player.
All players have access to the same number of Mines, luck/morale buffs, Resources and Different but equal in power Artifacts and Neutral Creature dwellings.
The underground is a contested area with high risk reward for all players but has a teleport system to not be broken.
All battleground maps, buildings and all creatures are in the map in a balanced way, to have the ultimate Heroes experience in PVE, PVP and CO-UP.
Player vs AI in this map works very well in free for all and allies and AI behavior has been tested and balanced in this map.
All difficulties can be Experienced in this map in advanced options in game.
( Changes to previous: Balanced Creature Numbers, Players can now pick all skills from start and have logistics in a witch up instead of overriding the specialty or starting skills of a chosen hero, fixed some minor spacing issues with resources / creatures )

Author: Noet (Amsterdam), 11-08-2021 21:39 Like Nice Fast and Balanced map - Eight Seasons I like that u can play this Free for All , Hotseat, 2v2v2v2 or 4v4.
The AI behaviour is just great and different every game.
Every building and aspect is in this map except for the broken few things.

Author: bigcitymama (greece), 15-12-2019 15:53 realy fast track - Eight Seasons run and gun map ,enjoyed it.
Author: Mark (Leeuwarden), 27-09-2019 21:17 Like Everything in it - Eight Seasons All Castles are playable in this map unlike a lot of other maps.
Note: Orange: is preferred by Stronghold and Dungeon
Purple: us preferred by Cove and Fortress
This is because of the native area types and specialty mines for tier 7.

the final version will be posted soon. It has some more balancing and the underground map is improved.

mistake in the site description, not the map. - Eight Seasons
The site says 5 teams, this is 4 in the map as it should be. so four teams of two. or play it as FFA, it has also been tested allot in FFA or with a AI as alliance. Have Fun! and please leave a reply if u enjoyed it.

Cloak of undead king - Eight Seasons
U first have to collect at least 3 pieces and necro is nerfed in HotA, also the other races have good artifacts as well and all races have good neutral units, Necro also won't always be on top in an AI matchup, all races can win and have pros and cons.

Cloak - Eight Seasons
Also, what is worth mentioning is that Inferno in allies mode is Necro's ally and even after the small buff probably the hardest and weakest to play from all the races.
And another thing worth mentioning, is all races have powerful Artifacts, Necro sacrifices allot of slots for the undead Cloak and have fewer stats in other areas to gain for the entire army.
