A Joke Too Far — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
A Joke Too Far is a medium underground map set in the Armageddon's Blade campaign setting, measuring 72 by 72 tiles and rated Hard. Its story concerns the Entertainment guild's capital, Slapknee, which has become the center of a rivalry over the direction of comedy. Six players compete, all of them human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each player starts with a different faction: Stronghold, Tower, Rampart, Fortress, Dungeon, and Inferno. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The terrain is mostly rock and dirt, with grass and a small share of water. Eight towns and six starting heroes are placed, and the map holds an Angel Wings artifact, the Grail, and wandering stacks of Crusaders, Rogues, and Battle Dwarfs.
