Treasure Island — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Treasure Island is a large underground-enabled map of 108 by 108 tiles for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, rated hard. Eight colors take part, with seven seats open to human players and Blue reserved for the computer. Each color is a separate faction and there are no teams. Players fight across a landscape that is mostly rock and water, with some sand and subterranean ground, and the map's description draws on the idea of buried riches on a distant island. The goal is to gather two million gold, and the game is lost if the timer runs out after 336 days. Across the map sit seventeen towns, three starting heroes, many mines, seer huts, creature banks, and twenty monoliths and portals. Notable finds include the Grail, several placed artifacts such as the Orb of the Firmament, and seven random artifacts.

Author's description

There's an island far away, where the ocean meets the sky; and on this island, so they say, buried treasures lie.
