Playing with the Gods — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Playing with the Gods is an extra large underground map for Armageddon's Blade, measuring 144 by 144 and offering eight player colors, six of which can be human, with the two computer-only colors reserved for AI play. Its premise is a set of divine trials that must be completed within a year, with rival factions standing in the way and needing to be eliminated. The map is played on impossible difficulty, split into four teams, and features nine factions spread across the colors, with Purple and Pink holding mixed or doubled allegiances. Water covers about 31 percent of the terrain, alongside large areas of rock and smaller stretches of grass and subterranean ground. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and the game ends in a loss if time runs out. Notable features include the Grail, 19 towns, 49 mines, 18 monoliths and portals, and numerous guarded artifacts and creature dwellings.
