Śródziemie2 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Śródziemie2 is a Middle-earth themed Heroes III map for Shadow of Death, played on an extra large 144 by 144 battlefield with an underground level. Evil is reaching for the One Ring, and the goal is to carry it to the forge deep beneath the mountain where it was made, since only its fire can destroy it. The map supports four players, with one human player at most, and three teams. Red, Tan and Purple are computer-controlled, and the factions are Inferno, Rampart, Stronghold and Necropolis. Victory requires transporting the artifact, and losing a specific hero ends the game. Rock covers about 43 percent of the terrain, with grass, water and subterranean ground covering much of the rest. Ten towns, 37 mines, 14 monoliths and portals, and artifacts such as the Centaur's Axe and Thunder Helmet add to the play.

Author's description

Zło wyciąga łapę po Pierścień Jedyny, by zawładnąć Śródziemiem. Musisz zniszczyć Pierścień, zanim będzie za późno. Jedynym sposobem zniszczenia go jest stopienie w ogniu Góry Przeznaczenia, gdzie powstał. Dostarcz pierścień do Wielkiej Kuźni, która znajduje się w czeluściach Orodruiny .
