The War Party — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The War Party is an Expert-difficulty map for Armageddon's Blade, set on an extra large 144 by 144 board with an underground level. Eight players, all of whom can be human, compete without teams, with Castle, Dungeon, Tower, Rampart, Necropolis, Stronghold, and Inferno factions in play, and Tower appearing twice. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 39 percent of the terrain and water about 22 percent. The description frames the story as a fragile peace that followed a joint defeat of Surt's forces, now broken by icy winds gathering over the Mountains of Terror. The map holds 32 towns, 18 starting heroes, and 56 random monster stacks, along with 130 random artifacts, 67 mines, and 10 monoliths or portals. Notable placed artifacts include Angel Wings, Cards of Prophecy, and the Celestial Necklace of Bliss.
