Prodigal — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Prodigal is an extra large Armageddon's Blade map of 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level and a Hard difficulty setting. Three players take part, with Red played by a Rampart town and Blue assigned a random faction, while Tan is a Dungeon player. Only one human player can join, and the Blue and Tan colors are controlled by the computer. There are no teams. Rock covers about 45 percent of the surface, with grass near 21 percent and water about 18 percent. The map holds 24 towns and 10 starting heroes, along with 137 mines, 13 creature banks, and 8 monoliths and portals. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Notable features include a Helm of Chaos, a Necklace of Ocean Guidance, and two Gold Dragon stacks roaming the map.
