Quest for the Cowl — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Quest for the Cowl is a medium underground map for Armageddon's Blade, sized 72 by 72, played at Normal difficulty. Two players share the field, with one human player and the Blue side left to the computer. There are no teams. The Red player fields Necropolis and Blue fields Stronghold, and the map has four towns. The author's note frames the story as a wizard in a tower taking up necromancy and receiving a gift, the Vampire's Cowl, after a teleport goes wrong. Victory requires capturing one specific town, while losing a particular hero ends the game. Rock covers about 43 percent of the terrain and water about 37 percent, with sand and subterranean ground making up the rest. Notable finds include a set of dwelling creatures ranging from Angels to Bone Dragons, several placed artifacts, and two timed events.
