Gwynn-Ap-Nudd — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Gwynn-Ap-Nudd is an extra large Heroes of Might and Magic III map of 144 by 144 tiles, playable on both the surface and an underground level, and built for eight players, all of them human-capable and with no teams. Each player starts with one of the eight standard factions, from Castle to Dungeon. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player is eliminated once they lose all their towns and heroes. The map is set on the Shadow of Death version and rated Impossible. Its terrain is mostly subterranean, dirt, snow and grass, with no water. Wandering Phoenix and Ice Elemental stacks are common, and the map holds 24 towns, 122 mines, 40 seer huts, and a Grail. The author's description frames it as an epic war between eight kingdoms.

Восемь могущественных королевств в Коло Мироздания ищут свои пути к процветанию и славе на крылах одной бесконечной войны. Непобедимые воины и властные маги, чьи имена вписаны в летопись истории и воспеваются бардами, жаждут поднять свой стяг над всей землей от Асгарда до Кетера.
