Age of Heroes — SoD

Age of Heroes is a large 108 by 108 map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, played on a single surface level at Normal difficulty. Six players can take part, all of them human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The author describes it as a effort to carve civilization out of a vast continent, and roughly 39 percent of the land is water, with grass, dirt and sand making up the rest. Red starts with eight possible factions, Purple and Teal begin as Stronghold and Castle, and the other three colors are random. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. Wandering monsters are common, with Water Elementals, Basilisks and Greater Basilisks most numerous, and the map holds 33 random artifacts, 43 mines, 18 creature banks and 10 towns.
