The Underking — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Underking is a medium-sized underground map for Armageddon's Blade, measuring 72 by 72 tiles and rated at expert difficulty. It casts five players, with four seats open to human players and Orange reserved for the computer. There are no fixed teams. Each side fields a different faction: Rampart for Red, Castle for Blue, Fortress for Tan, Stronghold for Green, and Inferno for Orange. The terrain is mostly rock, lava, grass and dirt, with a small share of water. The map contains six towns, two heroes, and a Grail. Wandering monsters include several dragon stacks, and the dwellings offer creatures such as griffins, unicorns and rocs. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The scenario is built around defeating a powerful lord who rules from the underworld.
