The Market of Time — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Market of Time is a two-player Heroes of Might and Magic III map for Shadow of Death, set on a medium 72 by 72 battlefield with an underground level. Both players are Strongholds, and the map is rated Hard. Only two human players are supported, with no computer-only colors and no teams. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, while a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. Rough ground and rock dominate the terrain, with lava and water making up smaller shares. The map holds five towns, ten starting heroes, and a Grail, along with seventeen mines, nine creature banks, and twenty-four monoliths and portals. Wandering stacks include Thunderbirds, Magogs, and Behemoths, and a wide range of artifacts is scattered across it. The author's description is playful and mentions a special cosmic event.
