Hourglass XL* — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Hourglass XL is a two-player map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Restoration of Erathia, set on an extra large 144 by 144 board with an underground level. It is rated Impossible and plays best for two humans, though no teams are defined, and both sides begin with random factions. Victory comes from defeating every enemy, while a player loses by running out of towns and heroes. Rock, subterranean ground, grass, and water make up most of the terrain. The map holds ten towns, along with wandering Diamond Golems and Mighty Gorgons, many dwellings including Medusas and Minotaurs, and seven placed artifacts such as the Tome of Fire Magic. Mines, seer huts, creature banks, and monoliths and portals are scattered across the land.
