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 the Normal difficulty, built for two players with one human seat and a computer-only Blue side. Teams are not used. The human plays Red as a Castle, facing a Rampart opponent. The story concerns a sacred unicorn's horn stolen from a royal family by Fey Folk of a nearby dark forest, and the hero must recover it before the wider human world falls. Grass covers most of the surface, with water, swamp and snow making up the rest. Four towns, eight mines and several dwellings, including unicorn and dendroid guards, are spread across the land, along with nine named artifacts and a range of wandering monsters. Victory requires defeating one specific monster, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.

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.
