Archaeology — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Archaeology map is a medium 72x72 scenario for Armageddon's Blade with two underground levels and four computer-or-human colors, of which up to three can be played by humans. Red and Blue get random towns, Tan starts with Castles, and the computer-only Green side fields Inferno. There are no fixed teams. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The land is mostly rock, grass, subterranean ground and snow, with about 11 percent water in islands. Scattered across it are six towns, twelve starting heroes, 24 mines, 14 seer huts, 30 creature banks and six monoliths or portals, along with a Grail and a number of named artifacts. One timed event is included.
