Core of Evil — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Core of Evil is a large underground map for Armageddon's Blade, measuring 108 by 108 tiles on a single level. It allows only one human player, who faces five computer-controlled opponents on the Impossible difficulty, with no teams. The factions are Rampart, Stronghold, Inferno, Fortress, Tower, and Necropolis with Conflux for the Orange player. The description imagines a necromancer raising a strong army in his underground realm after a group of wizards fails to return, so the player must prepare for war. Rock covers about a third of the terrain, with dirt, rough ground and water also prominent. The map holds 19 towns, 78 mines, 139 random monster stacks and the Grail. Victory and defeat both depend on a specific hero.
