Four — WoG

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Four is a large 108 by 108 underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III, set on Normal difficulty. It supports two players, with only one seat for a human, and the Red player is computer-controlled. Red plays Dungeon and Green plays Castle, and there are no teams. The story begins with a dream of fire consuming the land, with a few survivors escaping through portals before the ground splits apart, leaving the player to uncover the cause. Rock covers about 40 percent of the terrain and water about a third, with smaller shares of grass and lava. Rust Dragon and Chaos Hydra stacks roam the map, and an Elixir of Life and an Ammo Cart are placed as artifacts. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.

Author's description

Однажды ночью вам приснился сон. Вы видели как землю поглощает огонь, никто не может спастись, лишь некоторым удается покинуть этот ад через порталы. Потом земля раскалывается и... Вы просыпаетесь и понимаете, что это не просто сон и ваш долг выяснить, в чем дело.
