The Rise Of Power — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Rise Of Power is an Extra Large Armageddon's Blade map of 144 by 144 tiles with an underground level, rated Hard. Its story concerns the Kingdom of Meldrana, where the balance of power has shifted, and players must find the lost Holy Grail and return it to Itha. Eight players each control one of the eight factions, with no teams and no computer-only colours, so all eight seats can be human. Water covers about a third of the land, with grass, swamp and rock making up most of the rest. The map has 25 towns, 15 heroes, wandering creatures such as Archangels and Medusa Queens, placed artifacts including the Helm of the Alabaster Unicorn, 112 mines, and 35 monoliths and portals. Victory requires transporting the specified artifact, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes.
