The Ice Age — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Ice Age is an extra-large Heroes of Might and Magic III map of 144 by 144 tiles with an underground level, set for Shadow of Death and rated Expert. Five players are placed, though the Purple player is computer-only, so up to four humans can take part. There are no teams. The factions are Conflux for Red, Tower for Blue, Necropolis for Tan, Rampart for Green and Dungeon for Purple. The map is mostly rock and snow, with water covering about a fifth of its surface. Victory comes from capturing one specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Across 18 towns, the map holds a Grail, seven named artifacts, 76 mines, 32 creature banks and eight monoliths and portals. Wandering Faerie Dragons, Phoenixes and Angels are among the most common stacks.
