Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Northern Darkness is a small 36 by 36 underground map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a single level below ground, and it is rated Hard. It plays for eight colors, but only one seat can be human; the other seven are computer-controlled, and there are no fixed teams. Factions in play include Conflux, Rampart, Dungeon, Fortress, Inferno (twice), Stronghold, Tower, and Necropolis. A player wins by building a Grail structure, and loses by losing a specific hero.
