Lost Kingdoms — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Lost Kingdoms is an Extra Large 144x144 underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set on Impossible difficulty. A recent earthquake has split the land and opened entrances to ancient kingdoms beneath the surface, and the goal is to move quickly, seize those realms, and claim them. Four players can compete, all of them human slots, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Red plays Castle, Blue plays Conflux, Tan plays Tower, and Green plays Fortress. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 19 towns, 133 mines, 156 creature banks, and 68 randomly placed artifacts, with 146 wandering monster stacks. Subterranean terrain covers about a third of the map, alongside rock, sand, and water.
