A Magical Surprise — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

A Magical Surprise is a small Armageddon's Blade map measuring 36 by 36, with an underground level. Its description follows Danny Merritt as he wakes somewhere far removed from home. Two players are set up, with at most one human seat and no teams. Blue plays Conflux, and Green, which is computer-only, plays Tower. Snow and subterranean ground make up most of the land, with rock and water covering the rest. Wandering nagas and master genies roam the map, and the Helm of the Alabaster Unicorn and Titan's Gladius are placed as artifacts. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and the game is lost if a specific hero falls. Difficulty is set to Normal.
