South of Hell — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

South of Hell is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108, played on Armageddon's Blade and rated Hard. It supports three players, two of whom can be human, with the Red player controlled by the computer and playing Inferno, while Blue and Tan receive random factions. No teams are set. Victory comes from defeating every enemy, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Rock covers roughly half the terrain, with lava, water and snow making up most of the rest. The map holds eleven towns, two starting heroes, and a grail, along with 36 random artifacts, 33 mines, and 106 random monster stacks. Notable features include wandering Water and Fire Elementals, nine creature banks, and eleven monoliths and portals.

Author's description

The Brochure from the land to the north reads: "Come join us! Hell's not so bad. We have heated pools, warm mud baths..." Needless to say you have turned their offer down and now they have decided to take the southern lands by force.
