Pure Confrontation — AB

Pure Confrontation is a small 36 by 36 surface map for two players, one human on each side and no teams, set in the Armageddon's Blade version of Heroes of Might and Magic III. The Red player leads a Rampart faction and the Blue player a Tower faction, and the win condition is defeating all enemies, with a loss occurring once a player loses all towns and heroes. The author describes two opposing realms surrounded by lands ruled by barbarian tribes, where conquering those territories carries serious risk but may decide the outcome. The terrain is mostly rough, snow and grass, with no water. Four towns, one starting hero, nine mines, two seer huts and five creature banks are spread across the map. Wandering monsters include two Titans, a Rust Dragon and a Mighty Gorgon, and several artifacts are placed for the taking. The difficulty is rated hard.
