Dark Caverns — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Dark Caverns is a two-player underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade, set on a large 108 by 108 board with a hard difficulty rating. The author's note describes a conflict between islands that continues after an earlier ruler's death, with the aim of defeating the rival island and building a peaceful realm. Both players may be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each side starts with a random faction. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers about a third of the terrain, with rock and subterranean ground making up most of the rest. The map holds ten towns, 97 random monster stacks, and 39 mines, along with placed artifacts such as the Crown of the Supreme Magi and the Sword of Hellfire. Troglodytes, harpies, and beholders guard their dwellings.
