There Goes the Neighborhood — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

There Goes the Neighborhood is a medium 72x72 Armageddon's Blade map with an underground level, built for two players on Normal difficulty, one human and one computer-free pairing of Orange on Necropolis against Purple on Inferno. The author, Roy Ritchey, frames it as a head-to-head contest meant to settle which faction is weaker, and there are no teams. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock, dirt, and subterranean ground make up most of the terrain, with water covering about twelve percent. Six towns, two starting heroes, and 24 mines are spread across the map, along with a large population of random monster stacks. Notable placements include Vampires, Arch Devils, and Crusaders as wandering monsters, and artifacts such as the Boots of Speed, the Red Dragon Flame Tongue, and the Shield of the Dwarven Lords. Timed events also appear.
