Test for brave! — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Test for brave! is an extra large 144 by 144 map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, with an underground level and a hard difficulty setting. It supports eight players, with up to four controlled by humans and the remaining four colors, Orange, Purple, Teal and Pink, left to the computer. Players form three teams, and the factions in play range from Rampart, Stronghold, Fortress, Tower, Conflux, Castle, Dungeon and Necropolis. Rock covers about half the terrain, with water, snow and sand making up most of the rest. The goal is to defeat every enemy, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 19 towns, along with three Phoenix stacks, two Archangel stacks, and a Thunderbird, plus placed artifacts such as Armageddon's Blade and an Elixir of Life. The author describes it as a challenge for experienced players.
