Hammer of the Gods v.1.0 — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Hammer of the Gods v.1.0 is an extra large, 144 by 144 map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Restoration of Erathia, with an underground level and a Hard difficulty rating. It supports seven players, with only one human seat and six computer-controlled colors, and the players form four teams. The factions are Necropolis, Tower, Dungeon, Rampart, Castle, Stronghold and Fortress, one per color. Rock covers about 41 percent of the terrain and water about 14 percent, with snow and grass making up the rest of the main ground types. Victory comes from constructing a Grail structure, while a player loses if a specific hero is defeated. Notable features include 48 towns, 12 pre-placed heroes, 99 random monster stacks, a Grail artifact, and scattered artifacts such as the Angel Wings and the Golden Bow.

Author's description

The God of fire and decay has allowed his hammer to fall on the core of the good alliance, thus isolating it from the rest of the world. This grants the widely scattered evil side a chance to search for the grail, an artifact so powerful that the owner will rule the world till the end of time.
