Beltway: 2nd Conquest(SOD) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Beltway: 2nd Conquest is a large 108 by 108 map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, with an underground level and a Hard rating. Four players take part, with at most two of them human, and the other two colors, Teal and Pink, are computer-controlled. There are no teams. Red and Orange get random factions, Teal plays Stronghold, and Pink plays Fortress. Subterranean, grass, water, and dirt cover most of the terrain, and water makes up about an eighth of the land. Six towns and fourteen placed heroes are on the map, along with wandering monsters such as Wraiths, Fire Elementals, and Vampire Lords, plus dwellings, mines, creature banks, and a set of named artifacts. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once every town and hero is gone.
