Le détroit — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Le détroit is a Heroes of Might and Magic III map for Armageddon's Blade, set on a medium 72 by 72 grid with an underground level. It is rated hard and supports three players, with only one human seat; the Red and Green players are computer-controlled. Players are split into two teams, and the factions are Dungeon for Red, Castle for Blue and Fortress for Green. The story concerns a marsh people who have turned to piracy, making the passage through the strait unsafe, and the hero is sent to put a stop to it. Victory requires capturing a specific town, while the hero loses if a particular hero is killed. Rock covers much of the terrain, with grass, water and subterranean ground making up the rest. Notable features include the Grail-free placement of 13 named artifacts, 24 mines, four creature banks and timed events.
