Dragon Pass II — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Dragon Pass II is a medium underground map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a 72 by 72 grid with four players, each controlling one faction: Castle for Red, Conflux for Blue, Stronghold for Tan, and Rampart for Green. All four seats are human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The author's description pictures dragons who have broken their long peace and joined the war against their former masters, so players must raise an army before their opponents do. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map is mostly rock and grass with some subterranean and rough ground. Its wandering monsters include several Azure Dragons, Mighty Gorgons, and Phoenixes, and it holds artifacts such as the Crown of Dragontooth and the Orb of the Firmament.

Author's description

The Dragons have kept peace for millennia. However, a couple of Dragons decided to join you and your enemies to wage war against their former leaders. The pass won't hold for much longer now. You must gather an army quick, before your old opponents do so. A new war have just begun.
