Scorched Land — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Scorched Land is a medium 72x72 underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and rated hard. Its story, as the description gives it, is that a sorcerer named Faldek woke several volcanoes that turned a once-lush land into a wasteland, and the player must strike back to destroy him. The map has two players, with Red controlled by the computer and Teal open to one human, and there are no teams. Red fields Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon and Fortress, while Teal plays Tower. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock, lava, water and subterranean ground make up most of the terrain, and the map holds six towns, 25 mines and 23 randomly placed artifacts. Wandering monsters include Black Dragons, Medusas and Wyverns, and the dwellings offer Pit Fiends, Liches and Red Dragons.
