Sander's Folly — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Sander's Folly is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map for Armageddon's Blade, with an underground level set at Expert difficulty. Eight players share the field, with at most one human player and seven computer-only colors, grouped into two teams. Factions include Necropolis, Castle, Stronghold, Tower, Dungeon, Fortress and Inferno, and Orange starts with both Dungeon and Stronghold. The description portrays a devoted history student whose obsession pushes him to extremes. Rock covers most of the land, with water at about 14 percent and snow at 9 percent. The map holds 25 towns, 22 heroes, 45 mines, and 21 monoliths and portals, along with wandering Ghost Dragons, Mages and Dwarves. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and a side loses by losing all its towns and heroes.
