Infested — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Infested is an extra large, surface-only Heroes of Might and Magic III map for four players, with one human seat and three computer-controlled colors (Green, Orange and Purple). It spans 144 by 144 tiles at Normal difficulty and uses the Shadow of Death version. There are no teams. Water covers a little over half the map, with grass, subterranean, and snow terrain making up the rest. The premise is an island that the giant insects overlooked, and the human player must hold out and eventually defeat every enemy. Victory requires eliminating all opposing players, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The map holds ten towns and five heroes, with a mix of wandering dragons, elementals and phoenixes, a few dwellings, several artifacts including the Endless Sack of Gold, and seventy-four mines. Purple controls the largest mix of factions.

Author's description

Due to pesticides, insects have grown an immunity to them and mutated to enormous sizes. They have taken over the entire world, sparing only enough humans to be enslaved in their towns and do their dirty work. Little do they know, they have overlooked your island. But they will find you.
