Chess Mayhem — AB

Chess Mayhem is a large two-player map for Armageddon's Blade, measuring 108 by 108 and played on the surface only. Its theme borrows from chess: each side picks a color and must hunt down the opponent to win. The map is roughly two-thirds snow and one-third water, and both Red and Blue begin as Castle. Two humans can play, with no teams and no computer-controlled colors. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The map is dense with wandering monsters, about 310 stacks, and holds four towns, fourteen mines, two seer huts, six creature banks, and fifteen random artifacts. Dwellings offer Pikemen, Archers, Griffins, and Swordsmen. The author warns that the journey will be a hard one.
