Richard's quest. — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Richard's Quest is an Extra Large 144 by 144 underground map for the Shadow of Death version of Heroes of Might and Magic III, rated Impossible. The author's brief description says Richard and Merlin set out to defeat the Evil. The map holds eight players, with seven computer-only colors and room for just one human player, grouped into three teams. Factions range from Inferno and Necropolis to Castle, Rampart, Tower, and Stronghold. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Lava, dirt, and rock cover most of the land, with a small share of water and grass. Notable features include two placed artifacts, Boots of Speed and the Shield of the Damned, along with wandering stacks of Archangels, Arch Devils, and Efreet Sultans, and 45 towns across the map.
