Higher Ground — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Higher Ground is a large two-player map, 108 by 108 tiles, with an underground level, set for Armageddon's Blade at normal difficulty. Two human players can take part, each starting with a random faction, and there are no teams. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The terrain is mostly rock and grass, with snow and a smaller share of water. Five towns, two starting heroes, and a scattering of wandering monsters, including crystal dragons and halflings, fill the map. Placed artifacts include the Sword of Judgement and Boots of Speed, and there are 33 mines, 20 creature banks, and six monoliths or portals. The author describes it as a balanced map intended for league play.
