Path Of Veterans(SOD) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Path Of Veterans is a Shadow of Death map for Heroes of Might and Magic III, set on a medium 72 by 72 grid with an underground level. It is built for two computer-controlled kingdoms, Red and Blue, with only one human player allowed, and it is rated hard. Both sides start with random factions and no teams are set. Each side wins by eliminating every enemy, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The author describes two kingdoms split by thick forest, with a rumored route between them. The land is mostly rock, grass, swamp and sand, with very little water. Notable features include three named artifacts, Clover of Fortune, Ogre's Club of Havoc and Targ of the Rampaging Ogre, plus four towns, two heroes, and a variety of mines, creature banks and monoliths.
