Menage a Cinq — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Menage a Cinq is an Extra Large 144 by 144 surface map for Armageddon's Blade, played on Normal difficulty with no underground level. Six players can all be human, grouped into five teams, and each player's starting set includes five of the seven town types. Water covers only a small share of the land, and grass is the dominant ground, with dirt, snow and swamp making up the rest. The author describes a plain setup with no story, quest or special rules, just five castles and a scattering of mines. The map holds 36 towns, 64 mines, 15 seer huts, 25 creature banks and 10 monoliths and portals, along with 344 random monster stacks and placed artifacts such as the Orb of the Firmament and Angel Wings. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.

Author's description

No story, no quest, no special conditions. Just you, five castles, and mines... somewhere... Sounds ideal? Well, everyone else starts out the same way! This is a lot like the Full House of Heroes 2.
