Breaking the Barriers — AB

Breaking the Barriers is a medium underground map measuring 72 by 72, designed for four players at hard difficulty under Armageddon's Blade rules. All four seats can be human, and the players form two teams. Red and Blue start with random factions, while Orange and Pink both play Fortress. The terrain is mostly rock and swamp, with water and grass covering the rest. The description centers on a high court ruling that the Beastmaster and Witch guilds cannot bar applicants based on gender, and that some parties have vowed to fight to keep their traditions. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Notable features include the Crown of Dragontooth, the Grail, twenty random artifacts, and forty-nine mines.
