A Plague of Rifes — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
A Plague of Rifes is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles for Armageddon's Blade, rated Expert, and set across roughly a third water, with grass and dirt making up most of the remaining land. Five players share the map in three teams, but only one seat can be human; the other four colors, Tan, Green, Purple, and Teal, are computer-controlled. Factions include Necropolis for Blue and Purple, Stronghold for Tan, Inferno for Green, and Tower for Teal. The goal is to defeat all enemies, while the game is lost if a specific hero falls. Notable features include six towns, eight heroes, four creature banks, and several placed artifacts such as the Pendant of Life and the Shackles of War. Wandering stacks of ice elementals, dragon flies, and rogues roam the land, and the map also contains twenty-two mines and six monoliths and portals.
