Wild Islands — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Wild Islands is a large 108 by 108 surface map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Shadow of Death, set on an archipelago where water covers roughly 45 percent of the land, with snowy and sandy shores and dirt roads between them. The map supports five players, with one human seat and four computer-controlled colors, and no teams are defined. Orange commands the largest mix of factions, drawing on Castle, Inferno, Dungeon, Stronghold, and Conflux, while Blue, Tan, Green, and Teal each field a single faction. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The difficulty is set to Impossible. Across the islands are 15 towns, 49 mines, and 98 random monster stacks, along with wandering Enchanters, Rogues, and Red and Azure Dragons. Notable placed items include the Titan's Gladius, the Thunder Helmet, and the Grail, which is on the map.
