The Kings Rule — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Kings Rule is a large underground-enabled map for Armageddon's Blade, measuring 108 by 108 and rated Hard. It supports seven players, with Red reserved for the computer and up to six human players, and no fixed teams. Red plays Castle while the other six colors start random. The author's description frames the story as a succession dispute after a king's death, with heavy taxes and a closed university campus. Victory requires capturing one particular town, and a player loses when all towns and heroes are gone. The land is mostly rock, grass, and water, with rough ground making up a smaller share. Notable features include a Grail, 53 mines, 10 monoliths and portals, three creature banks, and fifteen placed artifacts. Eight towns and nine heroes are placed at the start.
