Roman Empire III — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Roman Empire III is an extra-large underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, sized 144 by 144 and played on two levels. Six players take part, but only one can be human, and the other five colors are computer-controlled. There are no teams. Factions are assigned at random to every player, and the difficulty is set to Impossible. The author frames the story around a young Romulus who starts in a small village called Rome and must build a large realm while facing well-prepared rivals. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the player loses if a specific town falls. The landscape is largely subterranean, rock, and dirt, with about 15 percent water. Notable features include 32 towns, 96 mines, a Grail, an Endless Sack of Gold, and a number of strong dragons guarding dwellings, along with 12 monoliths and portals.
