Red Dragon — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Red Dragon is a large underground-enabled Heroes of Might and Magic III map measuring 108 by 108 tiles, set for five players with four human seats at most, and the fifth color, Orange, is controlled by the computer only. There are no fixed teams. Factions vary by color: Red and Green draw on Castle, Rampart, Tower, Stronghold and Conflux, Blue and Tan on Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon and Fortress, and Orange on Necropolis and Stronghold. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The author describes a fierce war with a dark underground realm called Underground Heaven, and advises players to form alliances. The map holds 18 towns, six starting heroes, 66 mines, a Grail, and 154 random artifacts, along with wandering creatures such as Titans and Ghost Dragons. It is rated Expert.
