Возвращение в Эдем — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Return to Eden is a small underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set on a 36 by 36 grid at Normal difficulty. Its description imagines a world God made in six days and then left to rest, only for the Devil to seize it overnight, so the player must set out to save it. Five players take part, split into three teams, with Castle, Inferno, Rampart, Necropolis and Dungeon factions, and only one seat is for a human while the other four are computer-controlled. Victory requires defeating one specific monster, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Water covers about 29 percent of the map, with rock, dirt and lava making up most of the rest. Notable features include eight towns, seven placed heroes, twelve Arch Devil stacks, 14 monoliths and portals, and the Cape of Velocity and Cornucopia artifacts.

Author's description

Посмотрел Господь: Хороши получились тверди земная и небесная, и море, и звёзды, цветы и звери, и даже гады всякие... А более всего - человеки Адам и Ева! Бог создал Вселенную за 6 дней и отправился отдохнуть. Дьявол не отдыхал, поэтому и захватил мир в одночасье... НАДО СПАСАТЬ МИР!!!
