Vindalia — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Vindalia is an extra large Armageddon's Blade map of 144 by 144 tiles, played on both the surface and an underground level. It supports eight players, all of whom may be human, and is set on Expert difficulty. Players are split into two teams and each side fields one of the eight standard factions, from Dungeon and Fortress to Rampart. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once every town and hero is gone. Water covers about a quarter of the land, with rock, grass, and subterranean ground making up most of the rest. The map holds 41 towns, 25 heroes, and 131 mines, along with wandering Archangels, Black Dragons, and many Troglodyte stacks. Artifacts such as Armageddon's Blade and the Grail are placed across the map.

Vindalia was once a great land of wealth and knowledge. However, with the invasion of the human species comes the inevitable degradation of the natural beauty around them. Now war has erupted in Vindalia and you must choose to fight for good or evil. Either way, a long struggle awaits.
