Death Becomes Us — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Death Becomes Us is a medium underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade, measuring 72 by 72 tiles. It is built for two players, both human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Red and Blue each play as Necropolis, and the difficulty is set to Impossible. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The land is mostly dirt and rock, with barely any water. The author describes peasant hordes resisting the spread of death, and the map is crowded with 72 peasant stacks. Other wanderers include faerie dragons, phoenixes, titans and a chaos hydra, while the dwellings offer skeletons and dragons. Eight of the artifacts are placed on the map, including the Sword of Hellfire and the Titan's Gladius.
