Global War — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Global War is an Extra Large (144x144) underground-enabled map for Armageddon's Blade, set for eight players in four teams, each player starting with a different faction from Necropolis to Tower. The author's description frames it as a world worn down by centuries of conflict, with the goal of ending the fighting by carrying the Armageddon's Blade to a town called the Magic Mist. Victory requires transporting that specific artifact, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The difficulty is set to Impossible. About a fifth of the map is water, and rock covers much of the rest, alongside swamp and grass. The map holds 40 towns, 18 starting heroes, 129 mines, and 80 random artifacts, with several named artifacts such as the Crown of the Supreme Magi and the Dragon Scale Armor placed across it.

Author's description

The world has nearly been completely destroyed by centuries of war. You will have to stop the wars now! Of course, with victory for you, and your people. This will be done by bringing the Armageddond's Blade to a town, known as the Magic Mist.
