Middletown — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Middletown is a two-player map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set on a large 108 by 108 playing field with an underground level. It is rated hard and supports two human players, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Both Red and Blue begin with random factions. The map has seven towns, rugged rock and dirt terrain, and about a fifth of its surface covered by water. Wandering monsters include Archangels and Phoenixes, and the Grail is placed on the map alongside a long list of artifacts such as the Titan's Gladius and the Angelic Alliance. Victory comes by taking the central town or by defeating every opposing player, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone.

Author's description

The land of Carpatha has always been in turmoil, but what it really needs is a city in a central location to put an end to all the chaos. Take the middle city or defeat all other players to win the game.
