Battle for the Elements — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Battle for the Elements is an Armageddon's Blade map set on an extra large 144 by 144 board with an underground level, built for four players at Normal difficulty. Each of the four seats can be taken by a human, and no computer-only colors are used, with no teams defined. Every player begins with a random faction. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. The terrain is mostly rock, grass, and water, with some snow. Among the wandering monsters are enchanters, rogues, and sharpshooters, and the dwellings include dragons and unicorns. Artifacts such as Armageddon's Blade are scattered across the map, and the Grail is placed on it. The author stresses balanced starts and a large number of side quests.
