Force of Sphere Prohibition — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Force of Sphere Prohibition is an Extra Large 144x144 Armageddon's Blade map with an underground level, rated Impossible, for eight players where only one can be human and the other seven are computer-controlled. There are no teams. Each player has a single faction, except Teal, which has Castle and Necropolis, and the factions in play cover Inferno, Stronghold, Tower, Conflux, Dungeon, Rampart, Fortress and the two mentioned. Water makes up about a fifth of the terrain, alongside substantial lava, rock and rough ground. The map is a standard game: the human must transport a specific artifact to win, and losing a particular hero ends the game. Notable features include 44 towns, three stacks each of Ancient Behemoths, Behemoths and Wyvern Monarchs, a Grail, and a set of placed artifacts that includes the Boots of Levitation and the Necklace of Ocean Guidance.

Author's description

How very unkind of Dragonmaster to bash up your people and leave you in a little corner of Ammazzaquantoseibruttalia. Oh well, a few (thousand) Ancient Behemoths will suffice to take care of that ugly snake-face...if you find any crystal.
