The sword of dissension — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Sword of Dissension is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108 and rated hard. It supports eight colors, with up to three human players and five computer-only colors, and it has no fixed teams. Red and Blue receive random towns, while Tan plays Conflux, Green Fortress, Orange Necropolis, Purple Dungeon, Teal Tower, and Pink Inferno. The story follows the pursuit of Armageddon's Blade, which ends a fragile peace. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock, water, and subterranean terrain cover much of the land. The map holds 20 towns, 49 mines, and 17 monoliths and portals. Movement spells such as Town Portal are meant to be unavailable, and the blade's quest text is in French.

Author's description

It's a 1-3 player map that I hope balanced and hard. The story : lusting after the Armageddon's blade has ended the fragile peace that was reigning. Note 1 : no spell of moving (town portal,...) should be available. Note 2 : the quest for the blade is in french. Thanks to Tataye and JJ. DVH
