Nothing lasts forever — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Nothing lasts forever is a medium underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, measuring 72 by 72 tiles. It is set for a single human player facing one computer-controlled opponent in the Blue color, with no teams. The human plays Red as a Dungeon town, while Blue fields an Inferno. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, the ring of infinite gems, before the 112-day time limit runs out. Rock, rough ground, subterranean terrain, and lava make up most of the surface. The map holds 15 towns, six heroes, 61 mines, and 16 creature banks, with wandering monsters such as Master Gremlins and Greater Basilisks. Hero level is capped at 8.
