Deceptions of Good(SOD) — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Deceptions of Good (SOD) is a medium 72x72 Heroes III map for the Shadow of Death expansion, with an underground level and an Expert difficulty rating. Three colors are present, two of which can be played by humans, while the Purple player is computer-controlled and fights as a Tower town. Red and Blue start with random factions, and there are no teams, so the goal is to defeat all enemies. A player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The author's description sets the scene as a world held by devils that must be reclaimed, with a rival who has the same aim and a wizard hidden deep underground. Terrain is mostly grass, rock, subterranean and dirt, with a little water. The map holds seven towns, a Grail, and a notable set of placed artifacts, along with wandering Black Dragons and Diamond Golems.
