Friends — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Friends is a medium 72x72 Heroes III map for eight players split into four teams, with every seat playable by a human and an underground level included. Players start with random factions and the goal is to defeat all enemies, while a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. The terrain is mostly rock and rough ground, with lava covering about a tenth of the map and water around nine percent. Hero level is capped at 22, and the difficulty is set to hard. Scattered across the map are nine towns, eight Titans, five Pit Fiends, four Ancient Behemoths, and ninety random monster stacks. Notable finds include the Grail, the Helm of Chaos, the Boots of Speed, and the Shield of the Yawning Dead, along with 64 mines, 8 creature banks, and 23 monoliths and portals.
