Malwoth's Quest — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Malwoth's Quest is a small underground map for Armageddon's Blade on a 36 by 36 grid, built for one human player against three computer-controlled rivals in the Green, Orange and Teal colors, with the Tan player also taking part. The author describes a young man setting out to claim a land of his own, where some inhabitants accept his rule and others resist it. Victory requires transporting one specific artifact, and the hero can be lost to end the game in defeat. The factions are Stronghold, Conflux, Inferno and Fortress, with no teams. Rock, dirt, snow and grass make up most of the terrain. Notable features include six towns, six mines, three seer huts, four creature banks and several placed artifacts, including the Crown of the Supreme Magi and the Red Dragon Flame Tongue. Difficulty is rated easy.

Author's description

As a passage into manhood, Malworth is off to conquer his own tract of land. In the land he has chosen, he finds that some inhabitants are ready for a ruler, but others are not. Proof of his victory lies in the acquisition of the greatest artifact in the land.
