Unleashing the Bloodthirsty — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Unleashing the Bloodthirsty is an extra-large underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set on a 144 by 144 grid with an underground level. It is built for eight computer-controlled players, each on a different faction, with no teams and a single possible human player. The factions in play are Inferno, Stronghold, Tower, Conflux, Dungeon, Rampart, Castle with Necropolis, and Fortress. Water covers about a fifth of the map, with lava, rock, and rough ground making up much of the rest. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and a player loses if a specific hero is defeated. Notable features include three Ancient Behemoth stacks, dwelling creatures, the Grail, and a set of placed artifacts such as the Boots of Levitation and the Tome of Air Magic. The map is rated Impossible.
