Face to face — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Face to face is a medium 72x72 underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, rated hard, with three computer-controlled players and room for only one human. Red plays as Rampart, Blue as Necropolis and Dungeon, and Tan as Inferno, with no teams. The stated goal is to free an Undead King and avenge his imprisonment, and the quest fails if the hero Gelu falls, while victory requires flagging every creature dwelling. Rock and lava dominate the terrain, with subterranean ground and sand also present. Players will find 22 towns, 67 mines, a Grail, and 20 random artifacts, alongside notable placed relics such as the Hourglass of the Evil Hour and the Helm of Heavenly Enlightenment. Wandering Sharpshooters and Azure Dragons are the most common roaming threats.
