The Time is Now — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Time is Now is a small underground map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a 36 by 36 grid with an underground level. Its premise, as described by the creator, is about using a royal order to clear out rogues and bandits in the region while quietly building a force, then turning on the neighboring lords to take their lands. Five players share the map, with up to four human players and one computer-only Green side, which plays Rampart. The difficulty is Impossible, and no teams are set. Factions for the other sides are random. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The landscape is mostly sand, grass, dirt and swamp, with a little water. Notable features include five towns, four seer huts, twelve mines, twelve random artifacts, two monoliths or portals, and sixteen timed events.
