Random map template for Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, created in HeroesWorld RMG Template Builder v1.2.8.

How it will play:

• 8 players on a 400×400 map: plenty of room for scouting before major battles.
• Labyrinth / Nostalgia: a branching spine with side passages — lots of exploration.
• Neutral armies — cruel; border guards — cruel.
• Resources — 20%, buildings — 200%: development — normal.
• Single hero mode: each player leads exactly one hero throughout the match.
• Classic victory: defeat all opponents.
• Players have no direct borders — they are always separated by neutral zones.
• The engine randomly rotates the map every game (the preview shows one variation).
• Roads disabled — zones are connected without drawn paths.
• 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: 1× sawmill, 1× ore, 2× gold, 6× rare.
• Faction laws are upgraded at 100%, and astrology at 50% of normal speed.
• Each neutral zone with a castle contains 1 castle for capture.
• Guard strength varies by approximately ±50%.
