Canberra v1.2 (hard) — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Canberra v1.2 is a hard, large Armageddon's Blade map of 108 by 108 tiles on the surface only, with about 5 percent water and mostly dirt and grass. It is built around the author's premise of reversing a national goods and services tax, which the author frames as needing unanimous public support. Five players take part, with a maximum of two human players, and Tan, Orange, and Purple are computer-only. There are no teams. Red and Purple play Dungeon, Tan and Green play Rampart, and Orange plays Castle. Victory requires flagging every creature dwelling, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Notable features include the Grail, 22 monoliths and portals, 44 mines, and 87 wandering Dragon Fly stacks, along with 14 creature banks and 15 quest guards.

Author's description

On July 1st, 2000, the Australian Government introduced a Goods and Services Tax. This is one of the worst things that a democratic government can develop: high taxes, excess paperwork, and no privacy. To reverse the decision you must show you have the unanimous support of the entire population!
