Holding the Middle — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Holding the Middle is a medium 72 by 72 map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a single underground level at normal difficulty. Four human players can take part, with no teams. Red plays Tower, Blue plays Castle, Tan plays Inferno, and Green plays Stronghold. The central town is fairly easy to reach, but the real challenge is defending it long enough to upgrade a chosen town. Rock covers about 40 percent of the land, with dirt, subterranean ground, and lava making up most of the remainder, and water is scarce. Players will find five towns, 31 mines, seven creature banks, seven monoliths and portals, 34 random artifacts, and the Grail. A player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes.
