Water, Snow & Fire — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Water, Snow & Fire is an Extra Large 144 by 144 underground map for Armageddon's Blade, set at Impossible difficulty. Its story, as the author frames it, places a new kingdom in the hands of a player while a threat from the past hunts for its ruler. Six players take part, with up to three human participants split across three teams, and Red, Green and Orange are computer-controlled. Inferno, Castle, Tower and Stronghold are the factions in play. Rock covers about half the terrain and water over a third. Notable features include the Grail, fifteen placed artifacts, eighteen monoliths and portals, and 28 mines spread across nine towns. Victory requires defeating one specific monster, and a side loses by losing all its towns and heroes.
