Lord's of Fire — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Lord's of Fire is a large underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, measuring 108 by 108 tiles and designed for league-style play where speed matters. It supports three players, with two human seats and one computer-only Purple side, and there are no fixed teams. Red and Blue both field Conflux, while Purple plays Tower and is described by its creator as the dangerous opponent to watch out for. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. Rock covers about 37 percent of the terrain, with water, grass and swamp making up much of the rest. Wandering dragons, Archangels and Cerberus stacks roam the map, and artifacts such as the Ring of the Wayfarer and Lion's Shield of Courage are placed among the mines and creature banks.
