War of Succession — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
War of Succession is a large Armageddon's Blade map of 108 by 108 tiles with an underground level, set at expert difficulty. Eight players take part, seven of them open to humans, while the Teal player is computer-controlled only. There are no teams. The premise centers on an empire whose ruler has died without a direct heir, leaving the nobility and nine electors to choose the next sovereign. Factions include Castle, Rampart, Tower, Stronghold, Fortress, Dungeon, and Necropolis, and two players receive random towns. The terrain is mostly grass, with snow, dirt, and about nine percent water. The map holds 30 towns, 131 mines, 13 seer huts, and 15 creature banks, along with the Ogre's Club of Havoc and the Vial of Dragon Blood. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and the game is lost if the 336-day limit expires.
