Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Battle for Middle-earth is an Extra Large 144x144 map for Armageddon's Blade, with an underground level and a Hard difficulty setting. It supports six players, but only one can be human, and the other five are computer-controlled. The players split into two teams. The Red player starts with Inferno, Necropolis, and Stronghold, Blue with Castle and Rampart, and the remaining computer players use Stronghold or Rampart. Rock covers about 41 percent of the terrain, grass about 23 percent, and water 15 percent. The map has 41 towns, 33 heroes, and 138 mines. Among the placed artifacts are the Boots of Speed, the Ring of Life, and the Red Dragon Flame Tongue, and 11 quest guards and 24 creature banks add to the exploration. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and the human player loses by losing a specific hero.
