Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

To Kill for Power is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map for Armageddon's Blade, with an underground level and Expert difficulty. It centers on Lyndor, a legendary hero who is trapped and vows vengeance on his foes and on anyone regarded as good. Eight players share the map, with one human slot and seven computer-controlled colors, and no teams are set. Factions include Inferno, Rampart, Fortress, Castle, Stronghold, Tower, and Conflux, spread across the colors. A player wins by acquiring a specific artifact and loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 35 towns, 46 heroes, 36 mines, and the Grail, with wandering Titans, Ancient Behemoths, and Faerie Dragons roaming the land. Grass, rock, water, and lava cover most of the terrain, and 21 monoliths and portals are placed across it.
