Инь-Янь — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Инь-Янь is a three-player map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set on a large 108 by 108 surface with no underground level. Its premise, as the author describes it, is that three lords hear of a legendary castle that holds all ancient magic and grants endless energy to whoever claims it. Terrain is mostly rock and snow, with water covering about a quarter of the map. Each of the three players has a random faction and all three can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The difficulty is set to Impossible. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Scattered across the map are six towns, seven creature banks, 29 mines, two monoliths or portals, and a set of placed artifacts that includes several spell tomes and orbs.
