The World Turns — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The World Turns is an extra large underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, measuring 144 by 144 tiles. It is built for eight players, with four seats open to humans and the remaining four colors, Orange, Purple, Teal and Pink, held by the computer. No teams are set, so every side plays for itself. Factions include Stronghold, Fortress, Dungeon, Rampart, Castle and Inferno, with some players starting with two. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. The difficulty is Impossible. Rock covers about a fifth of the ground and water about a sixth, with grass and dirt making up much of the rest. The map holds 32 towns, a grail, 73 mines, and many guarded creature banks, along with numerous artifacts and wandering dragons and trolls.
