The fall of Shivercastle. — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Fall of Shivercastle is a large underground map of 108 by 108 tiles for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, rated hard and designed for three players, with only one human seat and the Blue and Tan colors run by the computer. There are no teams. The Red player fields Castle, Blue combines Inferno and Necropolis, and Tan plays Rampart. The story casts the human commander as a servant of the Imperial throne sent to confront a lich named Horrorshiver, whose undead forces and the troublesome dwarves of the region must be destroyed. Victory requires eliminating all enemies, while the player loses if a specific hero falls. Most of the surface is dirt and rock, with rough ground and subterranean areas. The map holds nine towns, thirteen placed heroes, many mines, and scattered artifacts, along with wandering walking dead, skeleton warriors, and wights.
