Resistance — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Resistance is an Armageddon's Blade map of extra-large size, 144 by 144, with underground levels and an Impossible difficulty setting. Eight colors share the field, but only four can be human-controlled, and the other four are computer-only. Players form six teams. The four human-playable seats are Red, Green, Blue, and Orange, and the author suggests that these are the roles to take on as the story of Arrakis unfolds. Factions range from Castle, Inferno, and Necropolis to Tower, Fortress, and Stronghold. Victory requires flagging all mines, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 43 percent of the land and water about 28 percent. Notable features include the Grail, Boots of Speed, 67 mines, 43 towns, and 27 creature banks, along with 22 Iron Golem stacks wandering the map.
