Only the Strong — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Only the Strong is a hard two-player map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a medium 72 by 72 grid with an underground level. Both kingdoms are human-controlled, no teams are used, and each side starts with a random faction. Each believes it alone should rule, so the contest is a test of which one is stronger. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock and grass cover most of the land, with small shares of water, dirt and subterranean ground. The map holds four towns, two heroes, fourteen mines, seven creature banks and four seer huts. Two wandering Crystal Dragon stacks, a Troll and a Nomad roam the land, and the Grail is placed alongside two inexhaustible carts of lumber and ore and twenty random artifacts.
