Pride Islands — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Pride Islands is a large underground map for Armageddon's Blade, measuring 108 by 108 and set at normal difficulty. Four colors take part, with Teal controlled by the computer, so up to three human players can join. Each player's faction is random, and there are no teams. The islands have a turbulent past shaped by floods, earthquakes and volcanoes, and they are threatened by demons and dragons, along with a heavy tax burden. Victory requires building a Grail structure, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Water covers about 41 percent of the map and rock roughly 38 percent. Expect 12 towns, 34 mines, 70 random monster stacks, and the Inexhaustible Cart of Lumber.

Author's description

Welcome to the Pride Islands - a beautiful land with a history of being ripped apart by floods, earthquakes and volcanoes; threatened by demons and dragons; and the highest real-estate tax in all Erathia. The only way to stop these demons (the IRS) is to find the grail and build it in yer home town.
