Passages II - Quill Version — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Passages II - Quill Version is a medium 72 by 72 underground map for Armageddon's Blade, presented as a revised edition of the original Passages II with more even balance and tidier layout. It supports five players, with four human seats and one computer-only Purple player, and there are no teams. Red plays Necropolis, Blue Tower, Tan Rampart, Green Castle, and Purple Dungeon. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock covers about a third of the surface, with subterranean, water, and grass ground making up much of the remainder. The map holds 13 towns, 30 mines, and 26 monoliths and portals, and the Grail is placed on it. Named artifacts such as the Boots of Speed and the Shield of the Dwarven Lords are scattered about, alongside wandering Fire Elementals and Magogs.
