Steel or Magic — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Steel or Magic is a small 36 by 36 underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and set at Normal difficulty. Three players take part, two of them human at most, and the third colour, Tan, is controlled by the computer only. There are no teams. Red plays Stronghold, Blue plays Inferno, and Tan plays Dungeon. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The land is mostly rock and dirt, with water and rough ground making up the rest, and the map holds three towns, twenty-one mines, a creature bank, and a Grail. Wandering monsters include a Chaos Hydra, a Bone Dragon, and an Ancient Behemoth, and several artifacts are placed about the map, among them the Endless Sack of Gold and the Shackles of War.
