Higher Ground — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Higher Ground is a large two-player map for Armageddon's Blade, measuring 108 by 108 tiles and including an underground level. It is set at Normal difficulty and supports two human players with no computer-only colors and no teams. Both sides start with random factions. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 44 percent of the terrain, with grass, snow and water making up the rest. The map is rich in content, with five towns, wandering monsters such as Crystal Dragons and Halflings, and placed artifacts including the Sword of Judgement and Boots of Speed. It also has 33 mines, 20 creature banks and six monoliths or portals.
