Cher's Compass — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Cher's Compass is a medium-sized map measuring 72 by 72 tiles, with an underground level included. It was built for the Shadow of Death version of Heroes of Might and Magic III and is meant for four players, all of whom may be human, so it suits hot-seat or LAN play. There are no teams, and each of the four colors plays a random faction. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. Grass and rock cover most of the terrain, with subterranean ground and water making up the rest. The map holds sixteen towns and sixteen creature banks, along with sixty mines and a Beholder dwelling. Wandering stacks of Earth Elementals, Red Dragons, and Power Liches appear across the land, and several artifacts, including Orbs and Dragon armor pieces, are placed for the taking.
