PKU's Nightmare — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

PKU's Nightmare is an Extra Large 144x144 surface map for Armageddon's Blade, rated Expert, that follows a night when a university campus falls to evil forces and a lone survivor must win it back. Six players are placed, but only one can be human, with the other five controlled by the computer across three teams. Factions are mostly random, while Tan has Necropolis and Stronghold and Green has Necropolis. Victory comes from capturing a specific town, and defeat follows the loss of a specific hero. Sand covers about a third of the terrain and water about a quarter. Seventeen towns, seven heroes and a Grail are scattered across the land, with wandering Archangels, Pixies and Gold Dragons, a number of artifacts including the Crown of the Supreme Magi, and seventy-six mines.
