Battle of the Druids — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Battle of the Druids is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set for five players with one human seat and four computer opponents. Two teams face off, with Red, Blue, Tan and Green fielding Rampart while Orange plays Necropolis. The difficulty is rated Hard. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and a player loses if a specific hero is defeated. The author's brief is to defeat the Druids, build the Grail, and watch out for the necromancers, who outnumber the player four to one. The terrain is mostly dirt and rock, with rough ground and water covering the rest. Fourteen towns, six heroes, and a Grail are placed on the map, along with fifty-one mines, two seer huts, and assorted wandering monsters, including several Minotaur Kings.
