Portrait to Heaven — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Portrait to Heaven is a large Heroes of Might and Magic III map on a 108 by 108 surface, built for the Shadow of Death version and set at Expert difficulty. Eight players, each controlling one of the eight factions from Castle to Dungeon, can all be human, and there are no teams. The map is more than a quarter water, with grass, snow and rough ground making up most of the rest. The author describes a heavenly portrait that appears in the world, and the goal is to reach its gate in time. Victory comes from upgrading a specific town, and the game is lost if the 168-day limit runs out. Seventeen towns, 81 mines, the Grail and many artifacts are scattered across the land, along with wandering dragons and an Archangel.
