Dracula as Necropolis — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Dracula as Necropolis is a large underground map for Armageddon's Blade, measuring 108 by 108 tiles and rated hard. It is built for three players, with only one human player allowed, so the game is a solo contest. The human plays Necropolis, while the computer controls Conflux and Rampart, who are allied and split into two teams with the human side. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers nearly half the map, with water, grass and dirt making up most of the rest. Among the things placed across the terrain are a Grail, twelve towns, three heroes, and a mix of dwellings, mines, creature banks and artifacts, including several endless gold sources. Wandering monsters include Gold Golems, Enchanters and Efreet Sultans.
