Kid Heretic — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Kid Heretic is a medium 72x72 underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, rated hard, with no named author. Its description frames the quest as a crusade for the Holy Grail through the city of Foss, where your choices in dealing with others decide whether they join you or brand you a heretic. Eight players share five teams, but only one human seat is available, with the other seven colors run by the computer. Factions include Inferno, Castle, Dungeon, Conflux, Necropolis and Tower. Victory requires building a Grail structure, and the game is lost if time runs out after 336 days. Subterranean and rock terrain dominate, with some water and grass. Notable features include a Grail placed on the map, 19 towns, 34 heroes, 22 seer huts, 35 monoliths and portals, and 60 quest guards.
