The Market of Time — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Market of Time is a two-player Heroes III map for Shadow of Death, set on a medium 72 by 72 grid with an underground level. It is rated hard and gives each side a Stronghold, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The win condition is to transport a specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is mostly rough ground and rock, with lava and water making up a smaller share. Wandering monsters include Earth Elementals, Thunderbirds, Magogs, and Behemoths, and the map holds five towns, 17 mines, a Grail, and 24 monoliths and portals. Fifteen artifacts are placed around the map, among them the Sphere of Permanence and several rings.
