Shar's War — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Shar's War is a large underground map of 108 by 108, played on Expert difficulty in Armageddon's Blade. The story follows a fugitive who aims to topple Lord Mordecia, the tyrant ruling Baydon. Five colors take part, but at most one can be human, and the other four are computer-controlled. No teams are set. Victory and defeat both depend on specific heroes: one must be defeated, and one must be kept alive. The factions are Rampart, Stronghold, Castle, Inferno, Conflux, and Tower, spread across ten towns. Rock and grass cover most of the land, and water is scarce. Notable features include ten monoliths and portals, seven timed events, and artifacts such as the Crown of the Supreme Magi and Dragon Scale Armor.
