Legend Of Dragon Fighters — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Legend Of Dragon Fighters is an extra large underground map, 144 by 144, for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, playable by up to seven human players in a normal difficulty setting with no computer-only colors. Seven players are split into three teams, with each color fielding a different faction, from Castle and Inferno to Necropolis and a combined Stronghold and Fortress pairing. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The landscape is mostly rock and subterranean ground, with grass, swamp, and a small share of water. Dragons roam the map in numbers, including several Azure Dragons, and the Grail is placed somewhere on it. The map also holds six pieces of the Legion armor set, a Vial of Lifeblood, 30 random artifacts, 24 towns, and 18 monoliths and portals.
