Rome — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Rome is an extra-large underground map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a 144 by 144 board with one level below ground. It holds eight colours, with seven slots open to human players and Pink reserved for the computer, and no fixed teams. The author describes the colours as Roman and other ancient social groups and peoples, each contesting for the glory of the eternal city. Factions include Castle, Tower, Rampart, Stronghold, Inferno and Dungeon, with Tan assigned randomly and Pink holding four factions. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock covers nearly half the ground, with dirt and grass making up most of the rest, and water is almost absent. Nineteen towns and 34 heroes are placed, along with nine creature banks, forty-five mines, and nine named Legion artifacts.
