Hotspot — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Hotspot is a small underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and measuring 36 by 36 with one level. It is set for three players at Normal difficulty, with one human player allowed and the Blue and Tan colors run by the computer, and no teams are defined. Factions are random for all three players. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The land is mostly rock and dirt, with very little water. The description stresses that a strong army must be built quickly, since many valuable sites are guarded. Notable features include three towns, a Ghost Dragon wandering the map, a Devil dwelling, 13 placed artifacts, and the Grail. Mines are limited to wood and ore, though many abandoned mines are available, along with 26 random monster stacks and three creature banks.
