Bug Hunt 1.1 — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Bug Hunt 1.1 is a Hard, medium-sized (72x72) underground map for the Restoration of Erathia version of Heroes of Might and Magic III. It is a single-player scenario for one human player against computer opponents across four colors, arranged in three teams. The human player leads a search-and-rescue party sent to a distant planet to recover survivors of an earlier expedition that went silent after reporting disturbing wildlife. Factions include Castle, Fortress, Inferno with Dungeon, and Tower. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The land is mostly rock, swamp, and rough ground, with some water. Notable features include a Grail, sixteen placed artifacts, and many wandering monsters such as Serpent Flies, Wyverns, and Hydras.
