Just A Visit — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Just A Visit is a medium 72x72 surface map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, rated for Expert play. Four colors share the land, though only three can be controlled by human players, with Red reserved for the computer. There are no teams, so every player fights for themselves, and each starts with a randomly chosen faction. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing all their towns and heroes. The terrain is a mix of grass, dirt, water, and snow, with water covering about a fifth of the surface. The map holds nine towns, three starting heroes, and a scattering of mines, creature banks, and roaming monster stacks. Thirteen artifacts are placed randomly, and sixteen timed events add pressure during play.

Author's description

Recently the reclusive Emperor announced he would soon visit one of the four lords in his lands. Knowing that such a visit meant the Emperor wished to choose a successor, the four lords immediately went to war with each other to prove who was mighty enough to rule the land.
