-nv- The Shores of Hell — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Shores of Hell is a medium-sized underground map, 72 by 72 tiles, built for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death and rated as expert difficulty. Four players take part, with up to three controlled by humans and the Tan colour reserved for the computer, and there are no teams. The Red, Blue, Tan and Green players command Rampart, Castle, Dungeon and Stronghold respectively. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and the game is lost if the timer runs out after 196 days. Water covers a little under half the surface, with rock, grass and subterranean ground making up most of the rest. The map holds nine towns, a Grail, 29 mines and 21 random artifacts, along with wandering monsters such as Medusa Queens and Infernal Troglodytes, plus several placed artifacts.
