The Ways (Allies) — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Ways (Allies) is a Hard Armageddon's Blade map of extra large size, 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level. It draws on Robert Jordan's novel, its Ways, and the Dark One's prison. The goal is to break the prison's seals by uniting the lands and then defeating the Father of Lies. Eight players share the map, with up to six controlled by humans, and the Tan and Pink colors are left to the computer. Five teams compete, with Castle, Stronghold, Necropolis, Fortress, Tower, Rampart, Dungeon, and Inferno in play. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Rock, water, subterranean, and lava terrain cover most of the map. It includes 31 towns, 102 mines, the Grail, and Armageddon's Blade.
