Britannia — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Britannia is an extra-large, two-level map for eight players, set for Armageddon's Blade and rated Hard, with eight human seats and two teams. Its author describes a long-running conflict between good and evil that is now beginning to organize, though the text is only a premise and the map's own scenario is not detailed beyond that. Players take Inferno, Castle, Necropolis, Fortress, Stronghold, Tower, Rampart, and a second Castle. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and a player is defeated by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 39 percent of the land, water about 31 percent, and grass about 15 percent. The map holds 19 towns and 15 starting heroes, with wandering monsters such as Water Elementals, Orcs, and Serpent Flies. Eight placed artifacts, including the Boots of Speed and the Speculum, sit alongside 62 random artifacts and a Grail.
