Buddy — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Buddy is a medium 72 by 72 underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set at impossible difficulty. Four players can take part, all of them human-controlled, with no teams and random factions for Red, Blue, Tan and Green. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is mostly dirt, with grass, sand and rough ground, and there is no water. Eleven towns are spread across the map, alongside 40 mines, 14 creature banks, four seer huts and ten monoliths and portals. Wandering monsters include Vampire Lords, Power Liches and Minotaur Kings, and placed artifacts include the Arms of Legion, the Cape of Velocity and the Endless Sack of Gold.
