The Fae Ring — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Fae Ring is an Extra Large, 144 by 144 map for Armageddon's Blade with an underground level, set at Normal difficulty. Its author describes three young travelers pulled into a mythical world, where they must survive and look for a way home, or perhaps something else. Five players are placed, but only one slot can be human, with Red, Blue, Tan and Green computer-controlled. Players form four teams, and the factions are Tower, Conflux, Necropolis, Rampart, and a Purple side that combines Castle and Rampart. Rock covers the largest share of the terrain, with water at about 13 percent. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Notable features include sixteen towns, sixty mines, a Grail, six timed events, and a set of placed artifacts such as the Cape of Velocity and the Crown of Dragontooth.
