Artifact Island (Allied) — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Artifact Island is a medium 72x72 Heroes III map for Restoration of Erathia, with an underground level and a surface where grass and water dominate. Five human-controllable players, Red, Blue, Tan, Green and Orange, pick random factions, while a computer-only Purple player uses the Dungeon faction. Teams are split into four groups, and the win condition is defeating all enemies, with a loss when every town and hero is gone. Nine towns, forty mines and a few wandering monsters, including a Red Dragon, Mighty Gorgon, Thunderbird and Naga Queen, are scattered across the land. The map also holds ninety placed artifacts, a Grail, and ten timed events. The description is brief, but it presents the island as a balanced contest for relics hidden in underground lakes.
