The Newcomers — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Newcomers is a small Armageddon's Blade map on a 36 by 36 grid, with an underground level and a Hard difficulty rating. It is built for four players, with up to three controlled by humans, and the fourth colour, Orange, is a computer-only Inferno side. There are no fixed teams, and the other three players start with random factions. The goal is to defeat every enemy, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map's terrain is mostly grass, snow, lava and subterranean ground, with about nine percent water. Its twelve towns are spread across the land, and the scenario revolves around pushing back these newly founded settlements. Players will find wandering monsters, mines, seer huts, creature banks, monoliths and portals, along with several placed artifacts, including the Sword of Judgement and the Vampire's Cowl.

Author's description

Over the past year there has been a tremendous growth problem. Twelve towns now crowd the already dense Magarian hills. The resources this land has given you are scarcely low. These new towns are taking away what is rightfully your land. You must join the fight and get rid of these towns.
