Click any zone on the map to edit it.

Edit zone
Zone sizeRelative footprint of this zone on the map. 1 is normal; larger zones get more room for objects, smaller ones are tighter.
Guard strength ×Scales how strong the monster guards inside this zone are. Above 1 makes it tougher to clear; below 1 makes it easier.
Guarded treasureTotal value of treasure placed behind monster guards in this zone. Higher means richer, better-defended rewards.
Free treasureTotal value of treasure left unguarded in this zone — free to grab early.
Resources valueTotal value of resource piles and mines seeded in this zone.
Edit route
Route typeHow the two zones connect: a normal border, a guaranteed direct path, a teleport portal, a proximity link, or a gladiator-arena gate.
Border guard valueStrength of the monster guarding this route. Higher walls the zones off for longer; 0 leaves the route open.
Build a road along this route so heroes move faster between the two zones.

Name your template to start — the map preview appears here.

Draft restored.

Each change updates the preview and the explanation beside it.

Press Generate preview to see the map layout here.

ℹ Rough preview — the in-game map will look different
This preview is a schematic of your template's structure — which zones exist, how they connect, and where each player spawns. The game builds the real map with its own layout engine, so expect differences:
  • Positions, spacing & shapes — the engine arranges zones with its own layout rules and draws them as organic blobs, so absolute placement and distances differ from the tidy diagram here.
  • Rotation — by default the map sits at one fixed orientation; with the “spin the map each game” option on it rotates by a random amount every match.
  • Spin direction — on rings and chains the order can wind clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on how the game lays the map out, so a player shown on the left here may appear on the right in-game.
  • Long chains — very long lanes may curl or spiral in-game instead of forming the even arc shown here.
  • Roads — only portal links are marked; the engine lays the rest of the roads itself.
What the preview does reflect: the set of zones, their connections, the player count and spawn assignments, and the overall shape (ring, hub, chain, web, maze…). Use it to check the arrangement and relationships — not the exact geometry.

Random. 1 hero
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 240x240 map: balanced space for scouting and conflict.
  • Random: organic and unpredictable, more likely to feel uneven.
  • Neutral stacks are tough; border guards are tough.
  • Resources are at 130% and structures at 200%, so expansion feels rich.
  • Single hero mode focuses the match on one main hero per player.
  • Classic victory: defeat opponents normally.
  • The engine randomizes the map rotation each game (the preview shows one sample).
  • 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.
  • Each player starts with mines near their castle: 1× sawmill, 1× ore, 1× gold, 3× rare.
  • Each neutral castle zone holds 1 castle to capture.
