Rescue Rangers 1.01 — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Rescue Rangers 1.01 is an Extra Large 144 by 144 Heroes III map for the Shadow of Death expansion, with an underground level and an Impossible difficulty setting. Eight players share the map, though only two can be human, and the six other colors are computer-controlled. Each player has no team alliance and starts with a single faction: Inferno, Castle, Tower, Rampart, Stronghold, Dungeon, Fortress, or Necropolis. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. The terrain is roughly a quarter rock, a quarter water, with lava and snow making up the rest. Notable features include 26 towns, 18 pre-placed heroes, four Black Dragon and Gold Dragon stacks among the wandering monsters, and artifacts such as the Centaur's Axe and the Shield of the Damned. The description suggests the map is meant to be played with a companion.
