Necromancing the Bone v2 — AB
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Necromancing the Bone v2 is a medium underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade, covering 72 by 72 tiles with rock, dirt, grass and swamp making up most of the ground and a small share of water. It is built for two players, but only one can be human, since the Blue side is computer-controlled, and there are no teams. Both sides play Necropolis. The goal is to accumulate ten ghost dragons, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The author describes the quest as a trial for entry into a guild of necromancers. Expect plenty of wandering sprites and pixies, a few dragons, and four towns, with dwellings holding bone dragons and liches along the way. Artifacts such as Boots of Speed and the Skull Helmet are scattered across the map, and it is rated Expert.
