Cursed Hollow
Curses
Tribute
Cursed Hollow is a heroes battleground revolving around the "Ravens Curse" a powerful effect that cripples the team that suffers from it. Players trigger this effect on their enemies by collecting tribute which appears periodically through the map. Collecting tribute is a channeling effect that can be interrupted.
This battleground has three main lanes. Tributes spawn randomly through the middle of the map. Mercenaries in this map are split evenly, with no "middle" mercenaries and are placed in opposing sides with the placement being inverted, so that the right side ogres push the bottom lane, and the left side ogres push the top. The camps consist of one ogre camp, one knight camp and one golem camp. The ogres are placed in such a way that taking the opposing sides ogres will cause them to walk behind the first fort and bombard it from a location where creep waves will not attack them. Crucially mercenaries are not affected by the curse.
The curse activates when either team reaches 3 tributes, the cursed team will find that all their creeps are reduced to 1 hp, their forts and other buildings (excluding the core) will not shoot for the duration, which is roughly one minute.
Players will find themselves forced to cooperate in taking tributes and defending when they become cursed as well as having to actively fight over mercenaries.
