Unleashing the Bloodthirsty — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Unleashing the Bloodthirsty is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map for Armageddon's Blade, with an underground level and an Impossible difficulty rating. Its premise is that the player's people have been crushed and confined to a small corner of the world, and escape depends on gathering a powerful army and finding a crystal. Eight colors are set up, but only one can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled with no teams. Factions include Inferno, Stronghold, Tower, Conflux, Dungeon, Rampart, Fortress, and a Teal start combining Castle and Necropolis. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and losing a specific hero ends the game. Water covers about a fifth of the terrain, with lava, rock, and rough ground making up much of the rest. Highlights include three stacks of Ancient Behemoths roaming the map, the Grail, 44 towns, and 16 monoliths and portals.

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.
