Middle-earth — RoE

Middle-earth is an extra large, six-player map for Heroes of Might and Magic III, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and played on a hard difficulty with an underground level. Its 144 by 144 field is mostly rock and grassland, with water covering about an eighth of the surface. All six colours are human-controllable, each starting with its own faction: Inferno and Necropolis for Red, Castle for Blue and Orange, Dungeon for Tan, Rampart for Green, and Tower for Purple. There are no teams. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. The map holds ten towns, 42 mines, and a Grail, along with placed artifacts such as the Boots of Speed and the Centaur's Axe. Wandering stacks include Thunderbirds, Grand Elves, and Orc Chieftains.
