Jihad — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Jihad map is a small 36 by 36 tile scenario for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade, played on a single sandy surface with an underground level included. Seven players share the field, all of them human-capable, with no teams and random factions for every side. Victory comes from eliminating every rival, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The author's description frames it as a patient, final campaign of one side against six neighbors who have turned on each other as well. The board is scattered with 97 wandering monster stacks, 42 mines, 29 randomly placed artifacts, seven creature banks, and 18 monoliths and portals, along with a timed event that adds some pressure to the game.

Author's description

All of your six neighbors have declared a Jihad against you and each other, but you have been patient until the signs, omens and priests have agreed it is the proper time. Now you have declared the seventh and final Jihad against your enemies. You will sweep them away like a vast desert sandstorm.
