Drachenstadt — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Drachenstadt is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, built for seven players in three teams, with only one human seat and six computer-controlled colors. The author's description frames it as a conquest of Dragon City, the capital of a powerful dragon ruler who is presented as the strongest opponent. Players face the Impossible difficulty setting. The factions are random for most colors, except the Tan player, who is fixed as Dungeon. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and losing a specific town ends the game. The map is dominated by rock, with dirt, swamp and sand covering much of the rest. Notable features include Azure Dragons and Ice Elementals wandering the land, dwellings holding dragons and elementals, and a number of placed artifacts.
