Star Landing — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Star Landing is an extra large two-player map for Heroes of Might and Magic III, played on a 144 by 144 underground-capable grid with Normal difficulty. Its story centers on a fallen star that opened a route to the underworld, letting monsters from below strike the surface through sinkholes that players must push back against. Two players fight without teams, each with a random faction, and both slots are human. Victory means capturing a specific town, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The terrain is mostly grass and rock, with water covering about six percent. Ten towns, two starting heroes, and 56 mines are spread across the land. Wandering monsters include Earth Elementals, Archangels and several demon types, while the Helm of the Alabaster Unicorn and the Shield of the Yawning Dead are placed on the map, and the Grail is hidden somewhere within it.
