'''Monolith''' is a common term for [[adventure map]] locations, that visually resemble gates. They can be used to instantly travel between similar, visually associated monoliths. There are two functionally different monolith types: one-way and two-way.
'''Monolith''' is a common term for [[Adventure Map]] locations, that visually resemble gates. They can be used to instantly travel between other monoliths. However, monliths can only be used to travel between similar, visually associated monoliths. There are two functionally different monolith types: One-way monoliths and Two-way monoliths


'''One Way Monoliths''' can only be used to travel in one direction, which means that they have entrance gates and exit gates. There can be several exit gates, in which case the destination will be chosen randomly. If an exit tile is occupied by a player's hero, other heroes are not able to teleport to that location (and heroes cannot interact, unlike the surface/underground [[Subterranean Gate]]s situation). If an exit is closed by an enemy's hero, there will be a battle.
Monolith one ways can only be used to travel in one direction, which means that they have entrance gates and exit gates. There can be several exit gates, in which case the destination is randomly chosen between the gates. However, if a player's hero is standing on one of those exits, other heroes are not able to teleport to that location. However, an enemy hero can teleport to that particular gate in which case there will be a battle. Monolith two ways work in a simialr way, but they can be used to travel into both directions.


'''Monoliths Two Way''' work in a similar way, but they can be used to travel in both directions.
In original {{roe}} there was four different types of monolith two ways and four different types of monolith one ways (entrances and exits). The {{ab}} expansions added four more types of gates increasing the number up to eight.


If an enemy hero enters a monolith at the open part of the adventure map, its exit point will be "shown" even if it is located in a shrouded area.
Monoliths cannot be located on [[Water]] [[tile]]s. Water has similar traveling method called [[Whirlpool]]s. They work in a similar way, but can be only located on Water tiles.


Monoliths cannot be located on [[water]] [[tile]]s. Water has a similar traveling method called [[Whirlpool]]s, but it usually kills some of your troops.
Two-way monoliths can be repeatedly traversed, without spending any movement points, by pressing the space bar. This also works with other adventure map objects with repeatable actions.
 
Two-way monoliths can be repeatedly traversed, without spending any movement points, by pressing the space bar (not in {{roe}}).

In {{hota}}, 4 one-way and 17 two-way (5 of them are for water only) monoliths were added. Player can now see the certain monolith's name by right-clicking on it. "Portal" monolith subtype was added to prevent a mess with a naming and portals have no other functions than monoliths.
