Editing Battle of the Sexes (section)

==Hero restrictions==
As part of the map's gimmick, hero choices are restricted by sex. Male heroes are banned in Red and Green sides, and female heroes in Blue and Tan sides. In addition, all Conflux heroes are banned for all sides, presumably because the expansion which added this map, ''[[The Shadow of Death]]'', did not allow this town to be playable if ''[[Armageddon's Blade]]'' was not also installed.

Since custom hero restrictions are [[Map Editor|properties of the map]], this selection is not changed when playing with {{hota}}: heroes that would otherwise be banned by default or not be available on maps without water terrain, namely Sylvia, Sir Mullich, Thorgrim, Galthran, and Voy, remain available on this map while their replacements Beatrice, Lord Haart, Giselle, Ranloo, and Kinkeria remain unavailable. Furthermore, the [[Cove]] and [[Factory]] towns are unaffected and their entire roster of default heroes are available to all sides without gender-based restrictions.
