Into the Darkness — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

"Into the Darkness" is a large 108 by 108 map for Armageddon's Blade, played on a single level with no underground. It supports five players, with four seats open to humans and Red left to the computer, and the players are split into three teams. Blue and Red play Necropolis, Tan fields a Dungeon, Green a Rampart, and Orange a Conflux. Water and grass cover much of the land, with swamp and rough ground also common, and the difficulty is set to Hard. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Seventeen towns and three starting heroes are placed, and the map includes the Grail, 42 random artifacts, 74 mines, and four creature banks. Wandering Dragon Flies, Gold Golems, and Mighty Gorgons roam the land, and two timed events add pressure during play.
