Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Adage is an Extra Large underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, sized 144 by 144 and rated Impossible. It supports eight players, with one human seat and seven computer-controlled colors, arranged in two teams. Four players field Necropolis, two play Fortress, and two play Castle. Terrain is mostly dirt, grass and swamp, with a sliver of water. The map holds 20 towns, 104 mines, 97 creature banks, six seer huts, and a Grail, and it features wandering stacks of Gremlins, Familiars, and Gnolls alongside the placed artifacts Cape of Velocity, Cloak of the Undead King, and Necklace of Ocean Guidance. Victory comes from building a Grail structure or defeating all enemies, and the game is lost if time runs out at day 336.
