Strange lamp

Hi! On the map Pirate Utopia I came across a strange lamp. When you right-click on it, no description is displayed and the object generally appears inactive (the horse icon does not “rear up”). The design of the lamp is different from the usual one; it is very similar to the lamp from Heroes II; when the hero "steps" on him, a detachment of genies joins free of charge and without the right to choose. Does anyone know anything about this? -- Nick Bud (talk) 15:53, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Look at the Ancient Lamp article -- BasicEagleEye (talk) 16:05, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

This was an early version of the Ancient Lamp that could be seen in very early HOTA screenshots (like, 2008). It was replaced by the current incarnation, but wasn't removed from the game entirely. You could find it on a handful of maps still (I've also found it on Beware of Demons!). However, it looks like update 1.7.0 finally removed it from the game, since it's either been replaced with a normal Ancient Lamp or outright removed. MurlocAggroB (talk) 16:15, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
