Return from Dragonmount — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Return from Dragonmount is a medium underground map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a 72 by 72 board with three players, one of whom can be human. The player controls Rion, who must find his way home after his quest at Dragonmount ends and the route is blocked, with help from a few Azure Dragons. Two teams compete: Red, with Castle and Stronghold, and Green, with Tower, against the computer-only Purple, which plays Stronghold. Rock, water, and grass cover most of the terrain. Scattered across the map are eight towns, twelve troll stacks, seven Azure Dragon stacks, and several other dragon types, along with the Buckler of the Gnoll King, the Helm of Heavenly Enlightenment, and the Quiet Eye of the Dragon. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and losing a particular hero ends the game. The difficulty is set to Impossible.
