Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Lord of the Rings is a Heroes of Might and Magic III map for Armageddon's Blade, set on an extra large 144 by 144 board with an underground level. Its author describes the goal as destroying the Ring in the fires of Mordor alongside the Fellowship. Six players can take part, with up to two human players and four computer-only colors. There are no teams. Red and Green play Rampart, Blue and Purple play Dungeon, Tan plays Necropolis, and Teal plays Inferno. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about half the map, with dirt, water, and lava making up most of the rest. Notable features include the Grail, Armageddon's Blade, 57 mines, 16 towns, and 14 creature banks. The difficulty is rated Hard.
