Sands of Blood — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Sands of Blood is a small Armageddon's Blade map measuring 36 by 36 tiles, with an underground level and normal difficulty. Four players compete, all human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only colors, and each side starts with a random faction. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. The terrain is mostly sand, with rock making up most of the rest and no water. Scattered across the map are 48 wandering monster stacks, 24 random artifacts, 16 mines, and 4 creature banks, along with four dwellings holding elementals of the four kinds. The author's note hints at valuable resources buried below ground, and a timed event is included.

Author's description

Your land has plenty of sand and even gold. Rumors abound of precious resources hidden beneath the ground. Surely the first Lord to plunder the resources under the ground will be able to dominate his neighbors.
