ArtCrush Map — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
ArtCrush Map is an extra large 144 by 144 underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set on the Impossible difficulty and built for four players, with two human seats and two computer-only colors, Blue and Green. There are no fixed teams. The players field Tower, Inferno, Castle with Necropolis, and Rampart. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is mostly grass and rock, with water covering about 17 percent and some sand. The map holds 21 towns, five placed heroes, and a Grail, along with roaming dragons, enchanters, and a wyvern monarch, plus 134 mines, 20 creature banks, and 25 monoliths and portals. Placed artifacts include Cape of Velocity and Cards of Prophecy.
