Battle of the Druids — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Battle of the Druids is a medium-sized underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set on a 72 by 72 field. It is rated Hard and supports five players, with only one human seat and four computer-controlled colors, arranged in two teams. Four players fight as Rampart and one as Necropolis, so the lone human player faces four necromancers in the author's framing. Victory requires building a Grail structure, and a player loses if a specific hero is defeated. The land is mostly dirt and rock, with rough ground and about eight percent water. Wandering minotaur kings, walking dead and a few stronger undead roam the field, and the map holds a Grail, 51 mines, two seer huts, two monoliths or portals, and 17 random artifacts alongside a placed pair of Boots of Speed.
