Sacrifice 1.0 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Sacrifice 1.0 is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for Shadow of Death, rated hard, built around a simulated match in which the author plays alongside computer opponents. It supports four players with only one human seat, and the three computer-controlled colors are Blue, Tan and Green. Red and Blue form one team, and the scenario is played on rock and lava terrain with patches of grass. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, while a player is defeated once they lose all towns and heroes. The map holds eight towns and fifteen heroes, with wandering Imps, Crystal Dragons and Fire Elementals among the many stacks, and thirteen mines and thirteen seer huts scattered across the underground.

Author's description

This is a simulated match game, a "Turing Test" for Heroes3. Can you tell whether you are playing me or the AI? (Fortunately, I am not so good and play a lot like the AI anyway, so those who have been wanting to play me can enjoy the next best thing!) --Charley
