Hostile Takeover — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Hostile Takeover is a large underground map of 108 by 108 tiles, set for Armageddon's Blade on Normal difficulty. Five colors take part, with Red controlled only by the computer, so up to four human players can join. There are no teams. Red plays as Dungeon, Blue as Tower, Green as Rampart, Orange as Fortress, and Purple as Stronghold. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and the game is lost if the 336-day time limit runs out. The terrain is mostly rock, with swamp, snow and grass making up the rest. Notable features include five towns, fourteen heroes, and a Grail on the map. Players will also find seven named artifacts, ten random artifacts, and wandering monsters such as Mummies and Storm Elementals, along with several creature dwellings, mines, and seer huts.

Author's description

The dark Guildmasters of the Dragon Guild of Sawado, Gudei and Nurkassu, have alienated all the other guilds with their hostile policies. The evil Guildmasters welcome open warfare, however, and the chance to eliminate all their rivals at once...
