Erathia — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Erathia is an extra-large underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set at Impossible difficulty for six players, with one human player and five computer-controlled colors. It spans 144 by 144 tiles and is mostly rock, with water covering about 29 percent of the surface. Factions include Fortress, Tower, Dungeon, Castle with Rampart, Stronghold, and Necropolis, and there are no teams. Victory requires flagging every creature dwelling, while a player loses if a specific hero is defeated. The map holds eight towns, a Grail, and fifteen named artifacts, including the Legion set, along with wandering Royal Griffins, Black Dragons, and a Titan. Its story draws on the new king of Erathia and renewed threats from Nighon and Deyja.
