A Walk in the Swamp — WoG

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

A Walk in the Swamp is a small 36x36 underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: In the Wake of Gods, played at Normal difficulty. Three players take part, two of them human at most, with the Purple side controlled by the computer and set to Conflux. Red and Blue start with random factions, and there are no teams. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is mostly swamp and subterranean ground, with rock, dirt, and a little water. The map has three towns and three heroes placed at the start, along with sixteen mines, two creature banks, and four monoliths or portals. Wandering monsters include demons, sea serpents, and several other stacks, and the artifacts placed include an Ammo Cart, a First Aid Tent, the Ironfist of the Ogre, and the Pendant of Reflection.
