Theophobia — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Theophobia is a large 108 by 108 Heroes III map for Shadow of Death, rated Expert, with an underground level. Eight colors are set up, but only one can be human; the other seven are computer-controlled, and there are no teams. Factions include Castle, Stronghold, Necropolis, Dungeon, Fortress, Rampart, and Conflux. Roughly a quarter of the land is water. The map holds 23 towns, 58 mines, the Grail, 15 monoliths and portals, and 12 timed events. Victory means transporting one specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
