The Stand — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Stand is a two-player Armageddon's Blade map on an extra large 144 by 144 grid, with an underground level and a hard difficulty setting. The author's description imagines a land ravaged by a plague, with survivors gathering to confront a greater evil and the goal of tracking down and destroying Lord Randall Flagg. Red plays Inferno and Blue plays Castle, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Victory requires defeating one specific monster, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock, grass, swamp, and subterranean ground make up most of the land, with no water. Players will find 16 towns, 45 mines, 38 seer huts, and a Grail, along with many creature banks and monoliths and portals, plus a set of placed artifacts.
