The Red Book — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Red Book is a medium 72x72 Armageddon's Blade map with an underground level, set on mostly rock and grass terrain with very little water. Its stated goal is to capture Smaug the red dragon, and victory comes from taking one specific town, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map runs for five players, with only one human slot and four computer-controlled colors: Red (Dungeon), Tan and Purple (both Stronghold), and Green (Rampart). Blue plays Tower, and the two teams are arranged in a two-team setup. Seven towns, eight heroes, and 31 mines are spread across the map. Wandering stacks include troglodytes, harpies, stone golems, and wights, and the map also places the Badge of Courage, the Hellstorm Helmet, and the Shield of the Dwarven Lords, along with four random artifacts.
