Escape From Baator — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Escape From Baator is a small underground map for Armageddon's Blade, set in a bleak region of Baator where the player's hero is trapped amid an ongoing conflict between evil factions, with an old friend arriving to help. The map measures 36 by 36 and is played at Impossible difficulty. Three players take part, with one human seat and two computer-controlled colors, Tan and Green, alongside Red. There are no teams. Red plays Conflux, Tan plays Inferno, and Green plays Necropolis. Victory comes from acquiring a specific artifact, and the hero loses if a specific hero is killed. Lava covers nearly half the terrain, with snow and water making up much of the rest. Wandering monsters include numerous Arch Devils, along with Pit Fiends and Efreet Sultans, and the map holds scattered artifacts such as Armageddon's Blade and the Sword of Judgement, five Seer huts, and timed events.
