Pestilence Lake {TE} — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Pestilence Lake is a large, single-level Heroes of Might and Magic III map measuring 108 by 108 tiles, set for the Shadow of Death expansion at Impossible difficulty. Three players share the field, with Red and Blue controlled by up to two human players, while Purple is computer-only and assigned a random faction. There are no teams, and each of the three players can choose from eight towns. The stated goal is to defeat all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The terrain is mostly dirt, grass, swamp and snow, with a small share of water. Notable features include the Grail, a Tome of Air Magic, 26 random artifacts, 61 mines, and 12 creature banks, along with 12 monoliths and portals and a timed event. The author describes the map as a set of changes to a standard Shadow of Death layout.
