Knocking on The Heaven's Door — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Knocking on The Heaven's Door is an extra large Armageddon's Blade map of 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level and Impossible difficulty. Eight players share it across three teams, but only one can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled. The premise has a fallen angel, Lucifer, cast from heaven into hell, seeking a way back while gods, mortals and demons all oppose him, and the author advises speed. Factions in play include Castle, Rampart, Conflux, Stronghold, Fortress, Inferno and Tower. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock, water and subterranean ground make up most of the terrain. Wandering Archangels and a placed Grail stand out among the many mines, banks and artifacts.
