Transylvania — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Transylvania is a medium 72x72 map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, with an underground level. It is built for five players, though only one can be human, and the other four are computer-controlled and split into four teams. The factions are Conflux for Red, Necropolis for Blue and Tan, Fortress for Green, and Inferno for Orange. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock, subterranean and dirt tiles make up most of the land, with swamp covering a good share and no water at all. The author frames the setting around the old Dracula legend and a group of new landlords who ignored local warnings. Ten towns, five starting heroes, Boots of Speed and Equestrian's Gloves, and fourteen creature banks are among the notable features, and a timed event also appears. The difficulty is set to Impossible.

Transylvania has always been full of mysteries.The name of Dracula feared people for 300 years.New landlords which bought these lands few decades ago ignored the rumors and laughed each time when native villagers spoke about undead masters of the past.Now they'll pay for such an arrogance...
