Capitals — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Capitals is an extra large, normal difficulty map for Armageddon's Blade, measuring 144 by 144 tiles and including an underground level. Eight players can take part, all of them human-controllable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each player begins with a different faction, among them Inferno, Castle, Dungeon, Fortress, Necropolis, Rampart and Conflux, with two players sharing the Castle faction. The author's description frames the story around a continent threatened by new dangers after a recent war, with the ruler of two capitals at the center. Water covers about 40 percent of the map, with grass, snow and dirt making up most of the rest. Victory requires flagging all creature dwellings, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Notable features include 25 towns, 87 mines, 55 creature banks, 40 monoliths and portals, and wandering stacks of strong creatures such as Crystal Dragons and Iron Golems.

Author's description

Three years ago Serpent Necromancers were finally defeated. Grand kingdom of Tirra won the war. But now all the continent suffers a new danger. Dark Lords prepare their armies. Greedy knights plan to dethrone their king. Overlords seem to move. But only the ruler of two capitals will prevail....
