Archipelag Legend — HotA 1.3.0+
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Archipelag Legend is a giant, two-level Heroes of Might and Magic III map for Horn of the Abyss 1.3.0 or later, set across a chain of islands where roughly 38 percent of the surface is water and much of the rest is rock and underground terrain. Seven players take part, with one human player and six computer-controlled colors, and no teams are defined. The factions are Inferno, Cove, Necropolis, Rampart, Stronghold, Dungeon, and Fortress, one per player. The map is played on Normal difficulty. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player loses if a specific hero is defeated. Across the map, 24 towns, 14 heroes, 123 mines, 197 creature banks, and the Grail are placed, along with many wandering monster stacks such as Oceanids and Nymphs. The author frames it as a pirate's tale about a legendary archipelago full of treasure and danger.
