Kartka — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Kartka is an extra large Heroes of Might and Magic III map for Shadow of Death, spread across 144 by 144 tiles with an underground level. It is rated Expert and supports eight players, with six seats open to humans and Purple and Teal reserved for the computer. There are no teams. Each player starts with a different faction, from Inferno and Tower to Necropolis and Rampart. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once every town and hero is gone. About a third of the surface is water, with grass, lava, and dirt making up most of the rest. The map holds 23 towns and 24 heroes, along with 77 mines, 15 seer huts, and the Grail. Wandering stacks of Battle Dwarves, Mages, and Dendroid Soldiers are common, and artifacts such as the Crown of the Supreme Magi and Dragon Scale Armor are placed around the map.
