The Wounded Land is the third scenario of A Strategic Quest, the official playable campaign of Heroes of Might and Magic: A Strategic Quest.

Information[]

The Wounded Land is a medium-sized map with no water. The map is asymmetrical, but balanced. Each starting castle has a sawmill and an ore mine nearby. For the first time each faction does not have their own rare material mines as some of them are in contested territory. There are scattered treasures around.

Victory is achieved by finding the Eye of Goros. The player will lose if another faction recovers it first. Functionally, the victory is achieved the same way that finding the ultimate artifact is achieved: finding obelisks and digging on the right spot. The obelisks are scattered throughout the map.

Ironfist's Knights begin at the northeast corner, with the barbarians, sorceresses and warlocks starting in the southwest, southeast and northwest respectively. The sawmill and Ore Mines are near the starting castle, but are guarded by low level creatures. There are nine neutral towns in addition to the starting castles on the map.

Terrain varies a lot, but the majority of the terrain is composed of dirt and grass. There is a small snowy area in the south. A big forest spanning over the entire map creates a lot of narrow corridors, and the map is a bit maze-like.
