Hide and seek. — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Hide and Seek is a large underground-level map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, measuring 108 by 108 with a normal difficulty setting. Three players take part, with two human slots and one computer-only color, Red, which fields Tower and Inferno. Blue plays Rampart and Green plays Castle. There are no teams. Half of the map is subterranean, with grass making up much of the rest, and water covers about five percent. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, while a player loses by losing a specific hero. The author's description frames it as three heroes searching for a vial of Dragon's Blood, with each hero's rivals being the main obstacle. Notable features include nine towns, two monoliths and portals, five seer huts, three creature banks, and 22 mines. Wandering Red Dragons and Magma Elementals roam the map, and dwellings offer Griffins, Centaurs, and Behemoths.

Author's description
