This map is specifically tailored for the most broken game mechanic – vampires & necromancy skill. This OP combo, which usually ruins the game, is here your only chance against superior foes that outnumber you by far. You're a vampire, not a battering ram, so you'll do best to avoid fortified positions – instead, leave dead weight in towns and use your extreme mobility to swoop down on enemies in the field. Feed from their flesh! Grow stronger with every small victory, until you can confidently tear down cities!
Contains: simple "storyline" not related to the HoMM lore, a corny world full of clichés, and most importantly, a very difficult challenge (I think).
See the in-game map description for an introduction to the story.
Note: Use stationary guards & intermediate game, or you'll break balancing (the very first fight will prove impossible). Playing on novice might make it easier though...

Zanfas was one of the wealthiest and most respected men in Lugast, but he was without an heir. So, he had set up a challenge and invited several well-known adventurers to take part. The goal of the contest was simple - defeat all opponents and conquer Zanfas' Island. The victor became the heir to the wealthiest empire in all of Lugast. This caused an unforseen problem. The winner of that competition was not loyal to the throne. With all that wealth and troops at his disposal, the victor of that competition ursurped rulership. To make matters worse, he is an incompetent ruler! Now, the Kingdom is falling apart with civil wars, marauding parties running wild and an economy crumbling. Even Death and Chaos realize that the realm can not stand in such disarray. A new ruler must be established. But with so many different ideals on how that ruler must be, there is only one way to unite the Kingdom. That is by force of arms.
This means war!
---------------------
This is a heavily modified map of Zanfas' Challenge. The victory condition has been modified; in this modifcation, victory comes by being the only player to own towns.
Included in this modification are new quests, dungeons, oracles, playing areas (with a widely expanded subterranean level), towns, inns, blacksmiths, portals, roaming armies and dwellings. Be forwarned, there are dangers on this map signifcantly greater than the dangers faced on the original Zantas' challenge.
Each faction begins with (2) Level 5 Heroes and a city of origin.
The Kings Tournament version of the map.
Based on the popular Heroes 3 title created by Pandora, is the Heroes 4 version of Showdown, with many similarities and differences.

Captain Swift is a former captain of the Imperial Navy who has given himself to piracy after being dismissed from his superiors. He thought of making easy money with criminal activities and taking revenge at the same time, but the showdown and the destruction of the old world have sent his plans into smoke. Disappointed and gnawed by revenge that he can no longer keep for those who have degraded him, Swift has decided to get enough to live happily retired until his death, putting all of himself in a war not driven by greed or gold, but from personal satisfaction.
