The Stand — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Stand is an extra large underground map measuring 144 by 144 tiles, rated hard, for two players who are each controlled by a human. Red fields an Inferno army against Blue's Castle forces, and there are no team alliances. The backdrop is a land ravaged by a deadly plague, where the survivors face a greater menace, and the goal is to track down and destroy a specific villain. A side is defeated once it loses all its towns and heroes. Terrain is mostly rock, grass, and swamp, with subterranean ground as well. The map holds 16 towns and the Grail, 146 random artifacts, and 145 creature banks, along with dwellings that house Angels, Genies, and Green Dragons.

Author's description

Imagine Erathia devastated by a vast killer plague that moves from coast to coast. Imagine then an even greater evil rising to threaten the survivors-- and a last embattled group of clerics and knights coming together to make the last stand against it. Find and destroy Lord Randall Flagg.
