The Test Of Time — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Test Of Time is a medium 72x72 Heroes of Might and Magic III map for the Shadow of Death expansion, with an underground level and Normal difficulty. It hosts three players, of whom only one can be human, and two teams are set up. The human player and the computer players Green and Orange have random factions, while the Purple player plays Inferno. The map's premise is a volcano lord demanding a million gold, and players must accumulate that amount before time runs out at 336 days. The terrain is largely rock, grass, water and subterranean ground, with five towns, one hero, and a scattering of mines, dwellings, creature banks, seer huts, and artifacts such as the Titan's Thunder, placed across the map.
