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 underground map for Armageddon's Blade, rated Impossible, on a 144 by 144 grid. Eight players share the field, but only one can be human, and the seven computer-only colors oppose that player in three teams. The story follows a fallen angel cast from heaven into hell who seeks a way back, while gods, humans and demons all turn against him. Factions in play include Castle, Rampart, Conflux, Stronghold, Fortress, Inferno and Tower. Rock covers about a third of the land and water a quarter, with 32 towns and 16 heroes placed. Wandering Archangel stacks, the Grail and placed artifacts such as the Titan's Gladius add to the challenge. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and losing every town and hero ends the game.
