Magic Islands — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Magic Islands is an extra large, 144 by 144 map for Armageddon's Blade with an underground level. It is built for six colors, with five possible human players and one computer-only Dungeon player in Pink, and there are no fixed teams. The other five colors begin with random factions. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Around a third of the surface is water and another third is rock, with subterranean ground making up much of the rest. Sixteen towns and eight starting heroes are placed, and the islands hold notable prizes such as Armageddon's Blade, the Golden Bow, the Vial of Dragon Blood, and the Grail. Wandering rogues, water elementals, and dwellings guarded by dragons and unicorns add to the challenge.
