Luck of the Draw — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Luck of the Draw is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles for Armageddon's Blade. Three players take part, two of them open to humans, with Purple controlled by the computer, and there are no teams. Blue, Green and Purple all get random factions. Players start without a castle and must reach one of six possible castle sites, so early scouting matters. The map holds seven towns, five heroes, the Grail, the Clover of Fortune, the Endless Sack of Gold, 43 mines, eight creature banks and 35 monoliths and portals. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while losing all towns and heroes ends the game.

Author's description

You start with no castle, but you and your opponent will end up near one of six possible castles (three possible castles for blue and three different castles for green). Get those scouts out early, but beware - you can be attacked from several different directions.
