Grid Mapping Might & Magic 3: Isles of Terra

Grid Mapping Might & Magic 3: Isles of Terra

Grid mapping tools are very helpful to map 5 Towns, 23 Dungeons, 5 Castles, 7 Pyramid sectors, and 24 outdoor areas. Terra challenges players with locked doors, teleport tiles, spinner tiles, dark areas, and one-way passages, therefore, mapping is one of the many keys to survival.

“Beware the wanderer without a map; in unknown lands, ignorance invites the dark fates.”

Grid Mapping Tools

Real-time mapping can be fun with the right tools. Explore the dungeon one square at a time.

Graph Paper

You only need some graph paper, a pencil, and the Location spell to craft functional maps. As you take steps and turn corners you simply write it down. Notate doors, stairs, secret doors, elevators, sign clues, NPCS, while understanding all maps are 16×16, that should get you going.

Gridmonger

If you don’t want to use graph paper and pencil then go for a free mapping tool such as Gridmonger. This is a truly exceptional tool and I highly recommend it. Read the online manual it is very well written and clearly explains what you need to know. This tool is designed to use keyboard entry which makes it quite simple to Alt+Tab between the Game window and the Gridmonger window to map as you play, never needing to touch the mouse. Exceptional tool with themes and support for dungeon or overworld maps.

https://gridmonger.johnnovak.net

Where are We?

Another exceptional tool is the Where are We? application. This is companion software that runs while you are playing Might and Magic III from GOG. Real-time maps reveal as you explore and display an arrow for your party that moves around the map in step with your in-game movements. Check it out.
