Knight of the Living Dead — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Knight of the Living Dead is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for Armageddon's Blade, set on Impossible difficulty. Eight players each start as Necropolis, with no teams, and all eight colors are human-playable. The victory condition is to defeat all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The land is mostly dirt and subterranean ground with very little water. Sixteen towns and 23 placed heroes are spread across the map, which is populated by large wandering stacks of undead such as Mummies, Walking Dead, Liches, Wraiths, and Bone Dragons. Placed artifacts include Armageddon's Blade and a set of Legion pieces, and there are 131 mines, 21 creature banks, and five timed events. The author's description is playful and jokes about the map being a necromancer's dream.
