随分間が開いてしまいましたが、「Heroes of Might and Magic III」の拡張パック「Armageddon's Blade」のキャンペーン「Festival of life」のシナリオ3「Clan War」をプレイしました。
Clan War
Three other clans also fight for the right to have their nominee be the king. Defeat them all without losing Kilgor and his three starting allies or lose the game. Only Kilgor and his three starting companions will be carried over into the next and last mission. Levels are limited to thirty.
マップサイズはL、難易度はHard、チームカラーはRed で、敵チームはBlue、Tan、Green dす。
シナリオ開始前に、Sandals of the Saint か、5 Cyclops か、Cyclops Cave の中からひとつを選択します。Cyclops も悪くないですが、私の趣味では消耗品よりも全局的に活躍してくれる方が好きなので、全てのPrimary Skill が+2されるSandals of the Saint を選択することにします。
まずはKilgor の独白から物語は始まります。
In the Festival of Life, those who fail, either die at the hands of their enemies, or by their own hand after capture. I will be merciful toward my opponents. I will take no prisoners.
さらに、ゲーム開始後、以下のメッセージが届きます。
The third test begins. The three opponents arrayed against you and each other are battle tested and strong, having been through similar tests. If you overcome them you will have proven your mettle enough to challenge the king himself!
A message arrives from House Telez: "Give up now, before we step on you like the pile of Orc dung you are"
House Degab sends you a message: "Surrender to us now and we will give you a quick and painless death staked out upon the Anthill of Doom. Otherwise a regular anthill will be your fate"
House Vilmit sends a message: "<Ugh> .. we crush you like bug you are.. <Ugh>"
