The Belgariad — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Belgariad is an extra-large underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and set at the Impossible difficulty. It spans 144 by 144 tiles and includes an underground level, with rock, water, and subterranean terrain making up most of the ground. Eight players take part, with up to seven controlled by humans and the Red player reserved for the computer. Teams are not used, and the factions include Inferno, Tower, Castle, Rampart, Stronghold, Fortress, and Necropolis. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and the game is lost if time runs out after 168 days. The map holds 27 towns, several hundred random monster stacks, 114 mines, and a number of named artifacts, including the Titan's Gladius and the Golden Bow, along with 45 timed events and 23 monoliths and portals.

Author's description

This carries on the magnificent epic of The Belgariad, begun in Pawn of Prophecy and Queen of Propecy, a fantasy set against the background of a war of men, Kings, and Gods that had spanned seven thousand years-a novel of fate, strange lands, and a prophecy that must be fulfilled!
