Middle Earth — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Middle Earth is an extra large, 144 by 144 map with an underground level, built for the Restoration of Erathia version of Heroes of Might and Magic III. It is set up for eight players, with three seats open to human players and five run by the computer, and the players split into two teams. The factions in play include Stronghold, Tower, Rampart, Castle, Necropolis, Inferno, and Dungeon, with two players taking Rampart. Rock, grass, snow, and water cover most of the land. The victory condition is to transport the Grail to a designated goal, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Expect Expert difficulty, many mines and creature banks, and a large number of random monster stacks. Notable placed objects include the Grail itself, several named artifacts such as the Boots of Levitation and the Orb of Vulnerability, and two monoliths and portals.
