Gelu's Legacy — WoG

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Gelu's Legacy is an Expert-difficulty map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: In the Wake of Gods, set on an extra large 144 by 144 underground level. After a battle with the barbarian hero Kilgor, Gelu escapes through a portal into an unfamiliar world. The map supports eight players, with one human player and seven computer-controlled colors, and it has no teams. The factions include Inferno, Castle, two Rampart players, Necropolis, Tower, Fortress, and a Stronghold and Conflux player. Rock covers about 41 percent of the terrain, with water at 14 percent. The map has 31 towns, 72 mines, 42 seer huts, and 17 creature banks, along with artifacts such as the Crown of the Five Seas. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and the game is lost if time runs out after 252 days.
