Middletown — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Middletown is a two-player Hard map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set on a large 108 by 108 playing field with an underground level. Each player begins with a random faction, and there are no teams, so it is a straight head-to-head contest. The author describes the land of Carpatha as constantly troubled and says it needs a single city in the center to bring the chaos to an end. Victory comes by taking that central town or by eliminating the opponent, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The map holds seven towns, 47 mines, and a Grail, along with thirteen placed artifacts such as the Titan's Gladius and the Angelic Alliance. Wandering monsters include Archangels and Phoenixes, and roughly eighteen percent of the terrain is water.

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.
