The Race — RoE

The Race is an Extra Large underground map for Heroes of Might and Magic III: Restoration of Erathia, spanning 144 by 144 tiles, almost entirely rock and grass with no water. Six players share the board, all Tower, and only one can be human; the other five colors are computer-controlled. There are no teams. The map is a race to take a specific abandoned castle, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. Seven towns, six starting heroes, and 27 random monster stacks are scattered across the level, with dwellings holding Gremlins, Golems of several kinds, Mages, Genies and Nagas. Eleven random artifacts, the Grail, and 32 monoliths and portals help move heroes around the underground.
