Prisoner of War — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Prisoner of War is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles, built for the Restoration of Erathia version of Heroes of Might and Magic III. The premise is a player who has spent months in hiding after losing a kingdom, now rising with an underworld army to reclaim it. Two players share the map, with one seat for a human and the other held by the computer. The Dungeon faction plays against the Castle, and the difficulty is set to Hard. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the loss condition is the death or capture of one specific hero. The land is mostly grass and rock, with a small share of water. Seven towns, four starting heroes, and a scattering of dragon-themed artifacts, including the Sword of Hellfire, add to the layout, along with 35 mines and four monoliths and portals.
