To Topple Equilibrium — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

To Topple Equilibrium is a small Armageddon's Blade map of 36 by 36 tiles, partly underground and rated Hard. Four players can all be human, forming two teams, with Castle on Red and Orange and Rampart on Blue and Teal. The premise concerns two long-standing guilds whose balance of influence is about to be broken, raising the question of which side will fall and which will prevail. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and losing all towns and heroes ends a player's game. The map holds five towns, twelve mines, nine random artifacts, and five monoliths or portals. Wandering forces include Enchanters, Infernal Troglodytes, Crusaders, and several pegasus stacks, and Pixie and Halfling dwellings add more creatures. The terrain is mostly grass and rock, with some subterranean ground and very little water.

For many generations, the Order of the Golden Flame and the Harpers of the White Crane have been in a state of influencial equilibrium. But now, an opportunity to end this balance has arisen. Which guild will fall to its knees... and which will rise victorious? That is yet to be seen.
