Jugurta's Capture — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Jugurta's Capture is an underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set at a medium 72 by 72 size. Its author describes a Roman commander who must reach Numidian lands and seize a rebel prince within four months, or a wider war will break out, and the player must keep the commander alive. The map is rated Impossible and is built for one human player facing one computer opponent, with no teams. The human side plays Castle and the computer side plays Stronghold. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and losing a specific hero ends the game. Rock covers nearly half the terrain, with grass, dirt, and a little water. Players will find wandering monster stacks, 24 mines, six creature banks, and a range of artifacts scattered across the map, along with two timed events.
