Grandmaster — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Grandmaster is a large 108 by 108 map with an underground level, built for up to eight players, with only one human seat and seven computer-controlled colors. The players form three teams. Red plays Inferno, Green plays Rampart, Pink plays Castle, Purple plays Necropolis, Orange plays Tower and Conflux, and Teal plays Dungeon and Stronghold, while Blue and Tan get random towns. The setting is a ravaged city and a quest to uncover the schemes of hidden masters. Rock covers a large share of the land, with water, snow and grass making up most of the rest. The map holds fifteen towns, twenty-one mines, fourteen seer huts and many monoliths and portals. Victory means defeating a specific hero, and a player loses by losing a specific town.

Author's description

Akkad lies ravaged by marauding Red Reavers, Demoniac servants of the tyrant Uxnator. Akkad's Seers send you on a desperate quest: to penetrate the Seven Guilds -- to untangle the intrigues of their secret Masters -- and to discover a way to save Akkad with the Might & Magic of the GRANDMASTER.
