007 chases Dr. No V.12/2006 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

007 chases Dr. No is an Extra Large Heroes III map (144 by 144) with an underground level, built for Shadow of Death and set at Expert difficulty. It casts James Bond in pursuit of Dr. No, with many barriers and drawbacks in the way. The description warns that it suits only patient players who expect to save the game often. The map has eight player colors, with one human seat at most and the other seven computer-controlled, and no teams. Factions include Inferno, Rampart, Necropolis and two Fortress players, while some colors start random. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers about 37 percent of the map, with lava and grass also prominent. Notable features include 42 towns, 126 mines, 49 monoliths and portals, the Grail, and wandering Black Dragons.
