Mapmakers — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Mapmakers is a large underground-capable map of 108 by 108 tiles, played on the Shadow of Death version of Heroes of Might and Magic III. It supports eight players, with seven seats open to humans and Orange reserved for the computer, and there are no fixed teams. Factions include Castle, Tower, Necropolis, Stronghold, Rampart, and Conflux spread across the colors, and the difficulty is set to Impossible. Rock covers roughly half the terrain, with water around a quarter. Players must defeat all enemies before the 112-day limit runs out. The map is themed around a guild tournament where mapmakers are called to a town, and it is stocked with 27 towns, 15 heroes, 74 mines, 18 creature banks, and a Grail. Wandering monsters such as Titans, Azure Dragons, and Water Elementals roam the land, and the artifact list includes Armageddon's Blade and Angel Wings.
