Mission 1 — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This small single-player map for Armageddon's Blade is set on an underground level, about 36 by 36 tiles, and is played on Normal difficulty. The lone human player takes the Stronghold faction, and there are no teams or computer opponents. Victory comes from flagging every creature dwelling on the map, while the hero must survive, since losing the specific hero named in the rules ends the game. The terrain is mostly rock, lava, subterranean ground, and grass. Players will find three towns, a number of dwellings holding creatures such as Behemoths, Hydras, and Rust Dragons, and a range of placed artifacts including the Necklace of Swiftness and the Talisman of Mana. Hero level is capped at 12.

Author's description

This first test is to see if you can effectively use your troops. If you lose Kilgor, his chance at becoming king dies with him. (duh!) He must perform this operation alone.
