Great War III (ver 2.0) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Great War III (ver 2.0) is a large 108 by 108 map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, with an underground level and an Impossible difficulty setting. It supports seven players, but only one can be human, and the other six colors are computer-controlled. Five teams compete, and the Blue player alone controls towns of eight different factions, while the other players each hold a single faction. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Most of the land is rock, dirt, grass, and sand, with about 4 percent water. The map holds 38 towns, 12 heroes, 136 mines, and 11 creature banks, along with several Azure Dragon stacks, orbs, and the Sphere of Permanence.
