2hero 8pl ring2

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

How it will play:

• 8 players on a 240×240 map: plenty of space for exploration and battles.
• Ring / Wheel: players are arranged in a circle with predictable neighbors.
• Neutral armies are strong; border guards are brutal.
• Resources — 125%, buildings — 200%: development is rich.
• Each player starts with a hero limit of 2, +1 for each Castle, up to 2.
• Classic victory: crush all opponents.
• The engine randomly rotates the map every game (one variant is shown in the preview).
• Roads connect zones, so routes between them are easy to read in-game.
• Each player receives an area for early capture near their starting town — for example, a second town or several mines.
• Each player starts with mines next to the Castle: 4× sawmill, 4× ore, 4× gold, 6× rare.
• Faction laws are upgraded at 125%, and astrology at 125% of normal speed.
• Each neutral zone with a castle contains 1 castle for capture.
• Loss of the starting hero ends the game — it is important to protect them.
• Guard strength varies by approximately ±10%.
