Podarok_2001 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This extra large underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death spans 144 by 144 tiles at Impossible difficulty. The author calls it a birthday gift for a devoted fan of the series and hopes it proves enjoyable. Eight players share the map in three teams, but only one seat can be human. Each player fields a different faction: Castle, Tower, Conflux, Necropolis, Dungeon, Stronghold, Fortress, or Inferno. Rock, snow, water, and dirt make up most of the terrain. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and losing a specific hero ends the game. The Grail is placed on the map, along with 452 random monster stacks and 61 monoliths and portals.
