Life and Death — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

"Life and Death" is a medium 72x72 two-player map for Armageddon's Blade, played on normal difficulty and including an underground level. Two human players can take part, and there are no teams or computer-only colors. Red starts with Castle and Rampart, while Blue fields Inferno and Necropolis. The goal is to defeat all enemies, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The terrain is mostly rock, grass, snow and lava, with about an eighth of the surface covered by water. Eight towns and ten starting heroes are spread across the land, and the map holds a Grail, thirty-one mines, five seer huts and fifteen artifacts. Wandering Crystal Dragons are a common sight, joined by a few Angels and Devils.
