Vial of Dragon Blood — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Vial of Dragon Blood is an Armageddon's Blade map on an extra large 144 by 144 grid, with underground levels and a Hard rating. Seven players take part, with at most five controlled by humans, while the Purple and Teal colors are computer-only. There are no teams. The factions are Tower, Stronghold, Rampart and Inferno, distributed across the colors. Victory comes from acquiring a specific artifact, the Vial, before rivals do, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 42 percent of the map and water about 21 percent. Notable features include 11 towns, 66 mines, 49 creature banks, 17 seer huts, 49 random artifacts, and dwellings housing Crystal Dragons, Faerie Dragons and Rocs.
