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

How this will play:

• 8 players on a 192x192 map: fast contact with tighter expansion room.
• Web / Crossroads: players share several routes through common neutral hubs.
• Neutral stacks are standard; border guards are tough.
• Resources are at 120% and structures at 100%, so expansion feels standard.
• Each player starts with a hero cap of 1, rising +2 per castle up to 2.
• Lost city rule makes defending the starting town important.
• Players never share a direct border — neutral zones always separate them.
• Roads connect zones, so travel between them reads clearly in-game.
• Player castles share a matched faction.
• Each player gets a nearby spot to claim early — say a second town or a few mines — a short way from their main town.
• Each player starts near 3 castles.
• Players begin already owning every castle in their home zone, not just the main town.
• Each player starts with mines near their castle: 2× sawmill, 2× ore, 6× gold, 8× rare.
• Each neutral castle zone holds 0 castles to capture.
• Losing your starting city ends the game after a 14-day grace period.
