A Matter of Honor — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

A Matter of Honor is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles, set in Armageddon's Blade at Normal difficulty. You begin as a hero whose carefree revelries end when grave news arrives about your parents, so you must restore order by seizing Chateau Douleur in the underworld. Three players compete, Red (Castle), Blue (Inferno) and Tan (Tower), with one human seat and no teams; Blue and Tan are computer-only. Lava and water make up most of the terrain. Notable features include the Grail, a Rust Dragon dwelling, and artifacts like the Sword of Judgement. Victory requires capturing the named town, while losing a specific hero ends the game in defeat.
