Lands of Asheron — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Lands of Asheron is an extra large Heroes of Might and Magic III map of 144 by 144 tiles with an underground level, played by up to eight players, each on their own side with no teams. The setting is the island of Dereth, once home to the empyrians before a powerful evil drove them out, and the map is built around finding the Grail to save the wizard Asheron. Each of the eight colors starts with a different town type, from Rampart to Pink's Fortress. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and a player loses if time runs out. The terrain is mostly rock, with water covering about a fifth of the land and some grass and rough ground. Hidden across the map are 43 mines, two seer huts, two monoliths and portals, and a range of placed artifacts, including Boots of Speed and Dragon Scale Armor.
