Grailmaster — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Grailmaster is a medium 72 by 72 Armageddon's Blade map with an underground level, rated hard, for four players, of whom up to two can be human; the other two seats are computer-only. There are no teams. Castle, Tower with Conflux, Dungeon, and Rampart are the factions in play. The map is mostly grass and rock with a smaller share of subterranean ground and no water. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The author's note describes a long string of battles before the Grail can be carried to a hidden town. Fifteen towns, four starting heroes, two troll stacks and a wyvern roam the land, and the map holds 49 random artifacts, 22 mines, 5 seer huts, and 8 monoliths or portals.
