Into the Darkness — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Into the Darkness is a large Armageddon's Blade map measuring 108 by 108 tiles, played on a single surface level at Hard difficulty. Five players take part, with up to four controlled by humans and the Red player left to the computer, and no teams are set. The factions are Necropolis for Red and Blue, Dungeon for Tan, Rampart for Green, and Conflux for Orange. A player wins by defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. About 15 percent of the terrain is water, with grass, swamp and rough ground making up most of the rest. The map holds 17 towns, 74 mines, 42 random artifacts and the Grail, and wandering monsters include dragon flies, gold golems, mighty gorgons and a rust dragon. Creature banks, monoliths and portals are scattered across the land, along with two timed events.
