Strength of Swamp — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Strength of Swamp is a small Heroes III map of 36 by 36 tiles with an underground level, built for the Shadow of Death expansion and rated Impossible. Three players take part, with only one human seat, and the two computer-controlled colors, Blue and Green, form one team against the human's side in Purple, which plays a Fortress. The factions for Blue and Green are random. The goal is to defeat all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The terrain is mostly subterranean and swamp, with rough ground and some rock, and very little water. Four towns, a Sharpshooter and an Angel as wandering stacks, and dwellings holding Beholders, Red Dragons and Troglodytes stand out, along with two monoliths or portals, sixteen mines, and a set of named artifacts such as Boots of Speed and the Sword of Judgement.
