Conquest of the present — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Conquest of the Present is a large underground map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a 108 by 108 grid with both surface and underground levels. Six players share the field, with five computer-controlled colors (Red, Blue, Tan, Green and Orange) and Purple, and only one human player is allowed. There are no teams, and the map is played as a free-for-all on Impossible difficulty. Water covers about 44 percent of the land, while lava, subterranean ground and sand make up much of the rest. The author's note frames the story as the player's return after being driven from their lands, as former enemies turn on one another. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and the player loses if a specific hero falls. Notable finds include the Legion artifact set, the Crown of the Supreme Magi and a Hellstorm Helmet, with 46 towns and 38 mines spread across the map.

Vous êtes de retour ! Vos anciens ennemis qui vous avaient chassés de vos terres, viennent de se déclarer mutuellement la guerre...Ils vous ont tous simplement oubliés ! Les sots...Un necro, c'est comme la poisse, ça revient quand on ne l'attend pas...
