Mode (s) Single player. Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer is a role-playing video game developed for Microsoft Windows by New World Computing and released in 2000 by The 3DO Company. It is the eighth game in the Might and Magic series. The game received middling critical reviews, a first for the series, with several critics citing the Crystal is one of the seven resources found in most Heroes of Might and Magic games. It is one of the rarer resources, less common than Ore or Wood, but as common as Gems, Mercury, and Sulfur. Crystal is associated with the Crystal mine. For each flagged crystal mine, the owner receives one unit of crystal per day. Pristine Unicorns are rare, even in Irollan. They are found in only one place, on the shores of the Sun Crystal Lake. Unlike the other Unicorns, they are not sacred to Sylanna, but to Elrath, Dragon-God of the Light. The pristine unicorn is the alternate upgrade to the unicorn, the fifth-level creature of the Sylvan town, in Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East. Compared to the "Made entirely from red crystal and brought to life through magical means, the Crystal Dragon is literally semitransparent, lit from the center by its magical heart. Used frequently as a training tool for young dragon slayers, many wizards also create these creatures for the crystal they shed." eJnLWN8.
