The Magic Crisis — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Magic Crisis is an extra large Armageddon's Blade map of 144 by 144 tiles with an underground level, rated hard. It supports eight players, six of them human, arranged into five teams, with Blue and Teal left to the computer. The eight colors each field a different town type, from Castle and Tower through to Necropolis and Inferno. The scenario is built around a self-secluded villain who has withdrawn to his island, and the map is mostly rock, with water covering about a fifth of its land. Victory requires capturing one particular town, and the game is lost if the clock runs out after 336 days. Among the features are wandering dragons and liches, a few placed artifacts such as the Thunder Helmet, seer huts, and a large number of mines, monoliths, and portals.
