Diamondhead — AB

Diamondhead is a two-player map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade, set on a large 108 by 108 underground level and rated for expert players. Two players compete, with both human seats available, and there are no teams or computer-only colors. Each side starts with a random faction. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. The terrain is mostly rock, with grass and some swamp, and only a small share of water. The author describes it as a challenge for highly skilled players, who must make use of the many adventure options before the opponent grows strong. Notable features include four towns, two heroes, four artifacts placed on the map, numerous mines, creature banks, and monoliths, along with several dragons and other strong wandering monsters.
