snow island — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Snow Island is a medium two-player map of 72 by 72 tiles for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, played across both the surface and an underground level. Red commands Rampart and Blue commands Necropolis, with two human players and no computer-only colors or teams. Most of the ground is rock and snow, with only a small share of water. Each side has two towns, and four heroes are placed on the map. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once every town and hero has been removed. Scattered across the map are wandering monsters such as Diamond Golems, a Behemoth, a Roc and a Cyclops, along with placed artifacts including the Skull Helmet and Shackles of War. Twelve mines and four monoliths or portals provide further resources and movement. The author left no description.
