Exploration — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Exploration is an extra-large Armageddon's Blade map of 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level and an Expert difficulty rating. Up to six players can take part, but only one can be human, and the other five are computer-controlled. The two teams face each other across a terrain that is mostly rock, with notable areas of subterranean ground, water, and grass. The factions are Necropolis, Stronghold, Inferno, Conflux, and Dungeon, with the human slot assigned a random faction. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player loses if a specific hero is killed. The map holds 15 towns, 43 seer huts, and 31 monoliths and portals. Wandering Efreet stacks are common, and the Grail is placed somewhere on the map. Hero level is capped at 40.
