Rise of a Dragon King — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Rise of a Dragon King is a small Heroes of Might and Magic III map of 36 by 36 tiles, played partly underground and rated Expert. It hosts three players, Red, Orange and Teal, with only one seat open to a human, so the other two are computer-controlled. There are no teams. Red fields Tower, Orange plays Inferno, and Teal commands both Tower and Inferno. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once every town and hero is gone. Water covers about 47 percent of the map and lava about 43 percent, with a little swamp. Notable features include six towns, sixteen mines, a Grail, and ten monoliths and portals, along with wandering elementals and golems. Placed artifacts include the Armor of Wonder and the Shield of the Yawning Dead. The story follows a young Dragon Rider from a flooded city toward a fiery and watery destiny.
