Raiders of the Lost Alicorn — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Raiders of the Lost Alicorn is a small 36 by 36 map for Armageddon's Blade on Normal difficulty, built for two players with one human seat and a computer-controlled Blue side. Its premise concerns a sacred unicorn's horn stolen by Fey Folk from a nearby dark forest, and the hero is sent to recover it before civilisation falls. Red plays as Castle and Blue as Rampart, with no teams. Victory requires defeating a specific monster, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Grass covers most of the surface, with water, swamp and snow making up the rest. The map holds four towns, two starting heroes, eight mines and a set of placed artifacts, including Armageddon's Blade and the Helm of Chaos. Wandering dragons, pixies and dendroids roam the land, and the dwellings include unicorns and pegasi.

Author's description

For generations the royal family protected a sacred unicorn's horn, but during the wars the Fey Folk who inhabit the nearby Dark Wood were able to slip inside and steal it. Now you, Sir Wolfhart, have been charged with regaining the Alicorn before human civilisation is utterly destroyed.
