First Continents — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
First Continents is a medium-sized underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, measuring 72 by 72 tiles and set on a difficulty rated Hard. Eight colors take part, with seven playable by humans and one, Pink, reserved for the computer and fixed to the Tower faction; the other colors start with random factions and there are no fixed teams. Water covers about 39 percent of the land, with grass, snow and rough ground making up most of the rest. The scenario centers on a search for the Vial of Dragon Blood, and a victory is claimed by acquiring that artifact. A player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Across the map you will find 11 towns, 48 mines, 20 monoliths and portals, 14 creature banks, and 30 random artifacts alongside a set of named ones, plus the Grail.
