The fire of live — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Fire of Live is a medium 72x72 map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, played on the surface with no underground level. It is set on a mostly snowy landscape, with subterranean, rough, and sand ground making up the rest. Four players take part, with one human player and three computer opponents, all on the Impossible difficulty and with no teams. The factions are Tower for the human player, Necropolis, Inferno, and Stronghold for the computer. Victory requires capturing a particular unnamed castle, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds five towns, 20 mines, and 87 random monster stacks, along with ten randomly placed artifacts. The author's description frames the castle as a goal that wins the game but leaves a deeper purpose unresolved.
