Up Or Down — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Up Or Down is a medium two-player duel map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, sized 72 by 72 and playable with an underground level. Both Red and Blue start with random factions, there are no teams, and the map is intended for normal difficulty. A victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Rock covers close to half the terrain, with dirt, grass and rough ground making up most of the rest, and water is only a small share. The map holds six towns, 18 mines, two creature banks, four monoliths or portals, and a timed event, along with 58 wandering monster stacks and 34 randomly placed artifacts. The author asks for reports of bugs and balance problems.
