AstralWar2 TE by Vlad — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
AstralWar2 TE is a large 108 by 108 underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, rated Impossible. It supports five players, with one human seat at most and four computer-controlled colors, split into two teams. The human player takes the Red Fortress side, while the other four play as Strongholds. The terrain is mostly rock and rough ground, with no water. The main goal is to carry the Grail to Svishtov, though defeating every hero and town is also possible. Losing the hero Astral ends the game, so that hero must survive. The map includes ten towns, seven heroes, twenty-nine mines, twenty-one creature banks, three monoliths and portals, and placed artifacts such as the Centaur's Axe and the Shield of the Dwarven Lords.
