Random map template for Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, created in HeroesWorld RMG Template Builder v1.2.6.

How it will play:

• 4 players on a 240×240 map: plenty of room for scouting before major battles.
• Jebus / Spider: a rich, heavily guarded central zone that everyone fights over.
• Neutral armies — brutal; border guards — brutal.
• Resources — 150%, buildings — 50%: development is normal.
• Single hero mode: each player leads exactly one hero throughout the match.
• Classic victory: crush all opponents.
• There is 1 Castle in the central zone that players fight for.
• The engine randomly rotates the map every game (one version is shown in the preview).
• Roads are disabled — zones are connected without drawn paths.
• All player cities belong to one faction.
• Each player starts with mines near the castle: 2× sawmill, 2× ore, 6× gold, 6× rare.
• Faction laws level up at 150%, and astrology at 150% of normal speed.
• Each neutral zone with a castle contains 1 Castle to capture.
• Losing the starting hero ends the game — it is important to protect them.
• Guard strength varies by approximately ±50%.
