Erdovo — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Erdovo is an extra-large 144 by 144 map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, with an underground level and a Hard difficulty setting. Eight players share the field, with four colours reserved for computer opponents, so up to four humans can take part. The players form two teams, and each colour fields a different town type, from Castle and Fortress to Necropolis, Inferno and Tower. The author's description tells of neighbours who set aside old quarrels to face a common threat from invaders. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once every town and hero is gone. The land is mostly grass and rock, with little water. Notable features include eleven Azure Dragon stacks, a wide scattering of mines and forty-eight towns, and artifacts such as the Endless Sack of Gold and the Hellstorm Helmet.
