A Joke Too Far — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
A Joke Too Far is a Heroes of Might and Magic III map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a medium 72x72 map with an underground level. The story centers on the Entertainment guild's capital, Slapknee, in Erathia, where a rivalry breaks out over what counts as comedy. Six players, all able to be human, face off without teams, each starting with one of six factions: Stronghold, Tower, Rampart, Fortress, Dungeon, and Inferno. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock and dirt cover much of the land. Notable features include the Grail, the Angel Wings artifact, 40 random artifacts, and 8 towns, with wandering Crusaders and Battle Dwarves among the roaming forces.
