Battle for Power [2v2v2v2] — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Battle for Power is an extra large Heroes of Might and Magic III map, measuring 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level included. It is built for eight players, each in their own team of two among four teams, and all eight seats can be filled by humans. Every player takes a different faction, from Rampart and Castle to Necropolis, and the map is played at Expert difficulty. Victory comes either by defeating every rival or by capturing the phoenix castle at the center, while a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The landscape is mostly grass, sand, and swamp, with water covering about a seventh of the surface. Scattered across it are 34 towns, wandering dragons and phoenixes, mines, seer huts, and a large number of artifacts and monoliths.
