The War is on(Allies) — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The War is on (Allies) is a Heroes of Might and Magic III map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a medium 72 by 72 grid with an underground level. It is rated hard and supports four players, all of them human-controllable, split into two teams. Every player starts with a random faction, and the goal is to defeat all enemies, while a side loses if it runs out of both towns and heroes. Terrain is mostly rock and dirt, with grass, swamp and a little water. Scattered across the map are 91 random monster stacks, 11 creature banks, 28 mines, 6 monoliths or portals, 20 randomly placed artifacts and the Grail. Halflings and boars can be found in dwellings. The author describes the map as a joint effort by two sides to end a long-running conflict.
