Lords of the Underworld — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Lords of the Underworld is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108, built for the Restoration of Erathia version of Heroes of Might and Magic III. Six human-controllable lords, each with a random faction, face off against a computer-only Necropolis player in the Teal colour, and there are no team alliances. The victory condition is to defeat a specific hero, while a player is eliminated once they lose all their towns and heroes. Rock, subterranean ground, and water make up most of the terrain, and the winding passages are sprinkled with 19 towns, 69 mines, 16 creature banks, and 62 randomly placed artifacts. Wandering monsters include beholders, troglodytes, and zombies, and dwellings house some of the strongest undead and demonic creatures, such as bone dragons and pit fiends.
