1. Why do maps get corrupted (weighing 1KB after saving) and how can this be avoided?
2. How can I make a neutral castle of the same faction as the one selected in the lobby? Link To Player doesn't work.
1) The path to the map or the map name contains Cyrillic characters. To avoid this problem, replace all Cyrillic characters with Latin characters.
2) The path to the map is too long (e.g., C:\Program Files\Nival Interactive\Heroes of Might and Magic V\Heroes of Might and Magic V\Heroes of Might and Magic V\Heroes of Might and Magic V\Maps). Solution: shorten the path as much as possible.
2. Try using Link To Town and select the town that is the starting town for the player you want. :)
