Lions Nest — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Lions Nest is an extra large underground map for Armageddon's Blade, measuring 144 by 144 tiles and marked Expert difficulty. Eight colors take part across seven teams, but only the Blue seat can be played by a human; the other seven are computer controlled. The factions in play are Stronghold, Castle, Rampart, Necropolis, Inferno, Dungeon, and Fortress, with Blue starting as Castle and Rampart. The story concerns uniting the Alder Isles under one banner and stopping the dark force Tumorbelow from destroying them. Rock covers about 40 percent of the terrain and water about 20 percent. Notable features include 45 towns, 132 mines, eight monoliths and portals, six creature banks, and the Grail. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and the game is lost if a specific hero falls.
