Orcs & Devils — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Orcs & Devils is a small underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and set on a 36 by 36 grid at Normal difficulty. Three computer-controlled and human-capable sides compete, with two seats open to human players and one reserved for the computer, and there are no teams. Red and Green play the Inferno, while Blue fields the Stronghold. The terrain is mostly lava, rock, and rough ground, with some subterranean areas and no water. To win, a player must capture a specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds four towns, thirteen mines, five creature banks, two monoliths or portals, and eighteen randomly placed artifacts. Wandering stacks include Red Dragons, Master Genies, Stone Golems, and Medusa Queens, and dwellings offer creatures such as Pit Fiends and Gogs.
