Isle of Hades — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Isle of Hades is a medium underground map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a 72 by 72 grid and played at Normal difficulty. Its premise follows Heracles on his final labor, a journey into the underworld to confront Hades and reclaim Persephone amid hostile mortals and jealous gods. Six players are placed, with one human slot and five computer-controlled colors, and there are no teams. The factions are Rampart, Dungeon, Inferno, Necropolis, Fortress and Conflux. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock, water and lava cover most of the terrain. The map holds nine towns, 26 mines, a Grail, and artifacts such as the Dragon Scale Armor.
