The Dragon Master — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Dragon Master is an underground map for Armageddon's Blade on an extra large 144 by 144 grid, rated expert. Six players are set up across five teams, with only one seat for a human and five computer-controlled colors. Blue combines Castle, Rampart and Tower, Red plays Inferno, Green Conflux, Purple Stronghold, Teal Necropolis, Dungeon and Fortress, and Pink Dungeon. Rock covers about 41 percent of the land and water about 20 percent. The description suggests that life is stirring beneath Erathia and has caught the attention of the gods. Victory requires defeating one specific hero, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map includes 16 towns, 34 mines, wandering elementals and hydras, and artifacts such as the Helm of the Alabaster Unicorn.
