Malwoth's Quest — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Malwoth's Quest is a small underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade, measuring 36 by 36 and rated easy. Its story follows a young hero setting out to claim a stretch of land, where some of the local people are willing to accept a ruler and others resist. The map has four colored players, but only one can be human, with Green, Orange, and Teal controlled by the computer, and there are no teams. Factions are Stronghold for the human-side Tan player, Conflux for Green, Inferno for Orange, and Fortress for Teal. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and losing a particular hero ends the game. The terrain is mostly rock, dirt, snow, and grass, with no water. Notable features include six towns, six mines, three seer huts, a set of timed events, and twelve placed artifacts, among them the Crown of the Supreme Magi.
