Thank you very much for the information! :) I recently got a friend hooked on Heroes 3, and he keeps suggesting we play online, which isn't ideal for me. :(
Anyway, my gratitude knows no bounds, within reason, of course.
Another question: how many standard templates are there in the Heroes 3 map editor for Shades of Darkness 4.0? If there's more than one, where can I find a list of these templates, and how can I make the map editor create maps based on a specific template?
