Major Meltdowns — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Major Meltdowns is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108, built for Armageddon's Blade and rated hard. Its premise centers on a winged celestial who has misplaced his wings, and five players race to recover them. Up to five humans can take part, each controlling a faction: two Strongholds, plus Conflux, Dungeon, and Castle, with no team play. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock covers about 41 percent of the land and water 17 percent. Scattered across the map are 66 mines, 16 seer huts, 40 creature banks, and four monoliths and portals.

Author's description

An angel has lost his wings, and he is hopping mad. He's held a contest to see who can find them first. If you don't find them, your chances at Heaven are shot.
