Pandora's Box — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Pandora's Box is an Armageddon's Blade map on an extra large 144 by 144 underground level, designed for five players, all of whom may be human, with no teams. The starting factions are Tower, Dungeon, rampart, and two Castle players. The author describes Hades as having gone away and left minions in charge, with things going poorly below, so that the dead threaten to overrun Greece unless the problem is fixed. Water covers about 36 percent of the map, with rock, grass, and dirt making up most of the rest. Players win by capturing one specific town and lose if the 280-day limit expires. The map contains 28 towns, 40 heroes, 83 mines, and 100 timed events. Wandering Horned Demon stacks are the most numerous, and a Bird of Perception is placed among 31 random artifacts.
