A free conversion of the Good to Go map (translated as "Happy Journey" or "Have a Good Trip" in different versions) from Heroes 3 (included in the standard set of The Succession Wars). The general idea has been preserved, and the location of all monsters and significant objects has been completely repeated (+/- one cell in one direction or another in a few cases), but the landscape has been redrawn (all decorations have been placed from scratch, more diverse and, I hope, somewhat more creative than the original; the terrain has also changed, with more narrow passages and winding paths), some objects have been replaced not with the closest possible equivalents, but with more distant ones (including to give knights and barbarians at least a hint of competitiveness compared to the magical factions; but, as in the original, it is still better not to rely on inter-faction balance), new features related to the AI players have been added, and something remotely resembling a plot/lore has been added (through rumors in the tavern). There are no game-breaking elements such as sphinxes, genie lamps, or ghost hills on the map, but the Robes of Anduran can be generated as an artifact-relic; in addition, obelisks have been added, and it is now possible to dig up an Ultimate artifact. The two AI players from the original have been combined into one.
