Mission 4 — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Mission 4 is a Hard, medium-sized map for Armageddon's Blade, measuring 72 by 72 and including underground levels. It supports three players, with only one human seat, and the two computer-controlled colors are Blue and Purple, which play random factions alongside the Stronghold-led Tan player. There are no teams. The goal is to locate the Grail and build a Grail structure, while the player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is mostly rock, with water covering about a quarter of the map and smaller stretches of grass and rough ground. Scattered across it are four towns, two starting heroes, 22 random monster stacks, and 27 mines. Dwellings house creatures such as Wights, Ogres, Rocs, Cyclops, Behemoths, Gorgons, and Lizardmen, and eight random artifacts are placed around the map. Hero levels are capped at 30, and one timed event is included.

Author's description

Somewhere lost in this region is the Grail. You have been charged with locating and retrieving it. Beware, as the minions of your enemies are also searching for it. Should you find it, your power will go beyond Krewlod to all of Antagrich! As before, if Kilgor dies, your quest is over.
