Volsunga Saga — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Volsunga Saga is a large underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and rated Hard. Its 108 by 108 tiles are mostly rock and grass, with water covering about a sixth of the surface. Six players each start with one town and one hero, and every player is human-capable, with no computer-only colors and no teams. The factions are Castle, Tower, Inferno, Stronghold, Fortress and Rampart. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The map is described as a search for a great treasure hidden in misty northern forests. Wandering monsters include Familiars, Royal Griffins, Dragon Flies and Battle Dwarfs, and the map holds 58 random artifacts, 42 mines, 18 creature banks and nine timed events.
