The Conflux's Charge — AB

The Conflux's Charge is a single-player map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a large 108 by 108 surface with no underground level. Its premise is a request from the elemental creatures of a conflux, whose castle has been seized by demonic monsters and must be won back. The map is played at Normal difficulty by one human player, with no computer opponents and no team setup. The player controls a random faction and begins with two heroes. Half of the terrain is water, with dirt, lava and grass covering most of the rest. Victory requires capturing one specific town among eight, and the game is lost if every town and hero is gone. Wandering monsters include Master Gremlins, Familiars and Gnoll Marauders, and dwellings hold Green Dragons, Liches and Troglodytes. The Spirit of Oppression is placed as a named artifact, alongside twelve random artifacts, 28 mines and 17 creature banks.
