Lie - desertstorm — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This small 36x36 underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III, built for Restoration of Erathia, is set on a desert-and-rock landscape where a powerful artifact is hidden somewhere in the land. According to the story, an expedition sent to find it never returned, except for one survivor who claimed success, and the player takes up the search. Four players can take part, all of them human, with random factions, no teams, and no computer-only colors. Victory requires acquiring the specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Terrain is mostly rock and sand with a small share of water. The map holds four towns, 14 mines, 31 random monster stacks, 17 random artifacts, the Grail, and one timed event.
