Unleashing the Bloodthirsty — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Unleashing the Bloodthirsty is an Armageddon's Blade map on an extra large 144 by 144 grid, with an underground level and an Impossible difficulty setting. It supports eight players, but only one can be human, and the other seven are computer controlled with no teams. The factions are Inferno, Stronghold, Tower, Conflux, Dungeon, Rampart, Fortress, and a Teal player who holds both Castle and Necropolis. The author's description frames the player as a lord cornered in a small corner of the land after a rival attacks their people. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and losing a particular hero ends the game. Water covers about a fifth of the map, with lava, rock, and rough ground making up much of the rest. Notable features include 44 towns, 73 mines, the Grail, and wandering Ancient Behemoths.

Author's description

How very unkind of Mr. 'Dragonmaster' to bash up your people and leave you in a little corner of Ammazzaquantoseibruttalia. Oh well, a few (thousand) Ancient Behemoths will suffice to take care of that ugly snake-face...if you find any crystal.
