Editing Moat (section)

=== Tower's Land Mines ===
Tower's land mines are a special case as they are not a moat per se. The mines work in very similar way as the spell [[Land Mine]]. The damage is calculated with the formula:

{{Math|10 &times; P + L}}

where P is the value of [[Primary Skill|power skill]], and L is a constant based on the level of expertise in [[Fire Magic]] the defending hero has (25 for Basic, 50 for Advanced, and 100 for Expert). A minimum damage for the mines of 150 was introduced in {{sod}}. To exceed the minimum damage in Shadow of Death version, a defending hero must be present and the hero must have:
* at least 13 spell power without Fire Magic, or with Basic Fire Magic,
* at least 11 spell power with Advanced Fire Magic, or
* at least 6 spell power with Expert Fire Magic.

In Restoration of Erathia and Armageddon's Blade versions, there is a base damage of 55, which is only used when no defending hero is present.  To exceed this a defending hero must have:
* at least 4 power skill without Fire Magic or with Basic Fire Magic; or
* Advanced or Expert Fire Magic

'''Other noteworthy facts:'''
* [[Protection from Fire]] will reduce the damage of the land mines.
* The [[Orb of Tempestuous Fire]] will increase the damage of the mines by 50%.
* The mines can be removed with expert level [[Dispel]] spell.
* Creatures that are unaffected by the mines (they will not explode):
** All defending creatures
** Creatures with fire magic immunity (e.g. [[Fire Elemental]]s).
** Creatures with spell immunity (e.g. [[Black Dragon]]s).
** If either of the heroes has the [[Recanter's Cloak]] equipped, all creatures will be immune to the mines. 
* If an enemy has a creature on their native terrain, it prevents the Land Mine spell from being cast, but has no effect on troops being damaged by the Tower's Land Mine moat.
