Grandmaster — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Grandmaster is a large 108 by 108 map with an underground level, rated Hard, for eight players where only one can be human and the other seven are computer-controlled. Players form three teams. The factions include Inferno, Rampart, Tower with Conflux, Necropolis, Dungeon with Stronghold, and Castle, while two colors start with random towns. The story casts your hero as a seeker sent to save a land overrun by demonic raiders. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and losing means the loss of a particular town. Rock covers about 38 percent of the terrain and water about 20 percent, with snow and grass making up much of the rest. The map holds 15 towns, 34 heroes, 21 mines, 14 seer huts, and 107 monoliths and portals, along with wandering monsters such as Ancient Behemoths and Red Dragons.
