Life or Death — WoG
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Life or Death is an Extra Large (144x144) two-player map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: In the Wake of Gods, with an underground level. The story, as the author describes it, follows two opposing lords whose long-paused war flares up again about 5000 years after a great battle. Castle (Red) faces Necropolis (Blue) in a free-for-all with no teams, and both seats are human. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map is rated Impossible and is mostly rock, grass, and lava, with about 9% water. It holds 34 towns, 104 mines, and 20 monoliths and portals. Notable finds include Bone Dragon and Lich wandering stacks, the Hourglass of the Evil Hour, and several Endless gold artifacts.
