The Nighon Competition — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Nighon Competition is a hard, medium-sized underground map of 72 by 72 tiles for Armageddon's Blade. It is built for one human player against three computer-controlled Dungeon opponents in the Blue, Tan and Green colors, with no teams. Its description presents it as a trial meant to screen candidates for army leadership. Water covers about 42 percent of the terrain, with rock, subterranean ground and some grass making up the rest. Victory requires acquiring the Vial of Dragon Blood, and the game is lost if a specific hero dies. Notable features include Azure Dragons roaming as wandering monsters, Beholders and Medusas in dwellings, and twelve monoliths and portals.
