A natural freak of geology made this small area beneath the Bol Bothma Mountains into a perfect place to build two very special Hero Gates. Many hundreds of years ago a team of workers and wizards built the gates and a causeway between them to allow travellers wishing to traverse the thousands of miles of lands above to complete their journeys in a few minutes.

This map is a level above the other ones I played from Steve, and the first one where I'd say there are no real errors. You're on a map with limited gold and units trickle in through the portal real slow, but in order to train them you have to dig all over the map for some blocks of gold. In the center there are infinite low level hero parties that drop loads of gold, but you can't cross the lava to pick up the gold so you've got to dig all around the map. If you do that, defeat the heroes there and claim the center a final hero party spawns and victory follows. I'm not sure the map is supposed to play out like this though, those hero parties have tunnelers, and they could dig towards you. However, tunnelers are idiots and instead of walking around the lava lake, they'll insist on dipping their toes into the lava to see if they can cross in a straight line, getting hurt each time. That's why you have to cast 'destroy walls' to even be able to start attacking the heroes. The map is a bit boring, but still one of the better ones out there, give it a try. I don't know why you also get some heroes from your portals though, would have been better by just getting evil creatures.
