Time of Testing — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Time of Testing is a medium 72 by 72 map for Armageddon's Blade with an underground level, rated hard. It seats eight players, at most one of them human, and uses no teams. Its plot unfolds on the eve of a wedding, when a bargain between the lords of order and chaos puts lives at stake. Castle, Inferno, Stronghold, Necropolis, Rampart and Conflux appear, with two colors combining factions. Water covers about sixteen percent of the ground. Nineteen towns, eleven mines and thirteen monoliths and portals shape travel, and artifacts like the Orb of the Firmament are scattered about. Victory means transporting one specific artifact, while losing every town and hero ends a player's game.
