The gate — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Gate is a small Armageddon's Blade map measuring 36 by 36 tiles, with an underground level and an Expert rating. Four players can take part, all of them human, split into two teams with random factions. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing every town and hero. Terrain is divided roughly evenly among dirt, lava, subterranean, and grass, with no water. According to the author, the only link between the teams is an underground portal, and a legend says anyone who crosses it is bound to guard it even after death. The map holds four towns, four mines, four seer huts, 77 wandering monster stacks, and 20 random artifacts, along with several placed relics such as the Centaur's Axe and the Shield of the Dwarven Lords.

Author's description

Le seul passage entre les deux équipes est le portail sous terrain mais attention, une légende veut que ce passage soit maudit. On raconte aussi que quiconque est assez fou pour essayer de franchir le portail est condamné à le garder, par delà la mort même...
