Kansas City Shuffle — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Kansas City Shuffle is an Extra Large underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set on a 144 by 144 grid and built mostly from grass and dirt with a small share of water. Eight players can take part, all of them human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each player may choose from all eight towns, and the difficulty is set to Impossible. The author notes that the design deliberately leaves out resource mines, a concept credited to a friend. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Among the placed rewards are a Grail, several legion artifacts, and endless gold sources, alongside 32 mines, 24 seer huts, and 282 creature banks scattered across the map.
