The Last Battle — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Last Battle is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set on a level with an underground section as well as the surface. It supports eight players, all of them human-controllable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each player starts with a different town type: Inferno, Tower, Necropolis, Fortress, Castle, Dungeon, Stronghold and Rampart. The map is rated Expert. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. Terrain is mostly water, grass, rock and snow, and the map holds 48 towns, 75 mines, 12 seer huts and 25 creature banks. Notable finds include the Amulet of the Undertaker, Boots of Speed and Cape of Velocity, along with wandering Chaos Hydras, Black Dragons and Ancient Behemoths. Its scenario is a long-running war, with eight realms fighting across both worlds.
