The Showdown — AB

The Showdown is a medium two-player map for Armageddon's Blade on the Expert difficulty setting, played on a 72 by 72 underground level. Two human players can take part, with no teams and no computer-only colors, and both sides receive random factions. The author describes two kingdoms at opposite ends of the map settling a long-running feud in a final confrontation. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. Grass, subterranean and rock ground cover most of the map, with water making up about nine percent. Six towns are placed, along with a set of wandering monsters that includes Azure, Rust and Crystal Dragons, and four named artifacts sit on the map among a large number of random ones.
