PMVF — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
PMVF is a medium 72x72 underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set for one human player against one computer-controlled Blue side, with no teams. The description tells of a world under a shadow of death, with demonic forces advancing, and a single relic that can save it, which a brave dragon mage must hunt down and carry back. Red plays a random faction while Blue fields Inferno. Victory requires transporting the specified artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is mostly rock and grass, with patches of lava and sand. Notable features include the Grail, a range of placed artifacts such as the Pendant of Life and Pendant of Death, and many dwellings, mines, and creature banks scattered across the level.
