The Outpost of Progress — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Outpost of Progress is a large Armageddon's Blade map measuring 108 by 108 tiles, with an underground level and an Expert difficulty rating. It supports eight players, of whom up to three can be human, and the five teams are split between two Castle players, a mixed Inferno and Stronghold player, and several Fortress players, with the remaining colors left to the computer. Rock, swamp, and dirt cover most of the ground, with water making up about an eighth of it. The map places twenty towns and nineteen heroes, along with wandering monsters such as goblins, gnoll marauders, and trolls, plus dwellings holding golems, mages, and demons. Artifacts include the Blackshard of the Dead Knight, the Pendant of Life, and the Shield of the Dwarven Lords. Victory requires defeating a specific monster, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes.
