I can't share the map I created with anyone. Only the game and the editor can see it; it's not visible in the folder where it should be. What should I do?

Can't you see it? Is the Maps folder empty?

Let it be empty (10 characters)

What is the path to the map file? For example, C\Games\Heroes 5\....

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nival Interactive\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\Maps

Is that where you're trying to find it? (I'm asking because there's another Maps folder that's empty. Some people were trying to find something in that one.)
It shouldn't have become a hidden file after creation, but you can check that as well. Does the game create the map normally?

Yes, I am currently systematically testing the map for errors for each faction, but the map is not visible in the game folder, and it is very sad that no one but me will be able to appreciate the work.

you can try downloading any map, putting it in the folder where you're looking, and see if the game recognizes it.
For now, I can't think of anything else, except that the map might have become a hidden file. But I don't know why that would happen. You can configure the display of hidden folders and files in the panel, if that's indeed the case.

The map was definitely hidden. It's just unclear why. Here's another question, by the way.
Where can I upload this map for public review without getting too much negative feedback? The map is about 65-70% complete (without scripts).

When the window opens, as in the screenshot, click on the map (select it), press Ctrl + C, close the editor, click on the desktop, press Ctrl + V. It should appear on the desktop. That's how it worked for me.

Indeed, the map was hidden. It’s just unclear why. Here is another question by the way.
Where can I upload this map so that the public can judge it without throwing too many tomatoes at me? The map is about 65-70% complete (without scripts).
It is better not to rush and bring it to 100%. And then post it in the appropriate section here (Maps and Mapmaking -> Heroes 5 Tribes of the East), creating a new topic. But first, archive it into a zip file. And if something is unclear regarding mapmaking, here is the corresponding topic - /topic/7934/

Before finalizing, I'd like to hear your opinion on the overall concept. Perhaps it's not worth continuing if it's flawed. Maybe I overdid it with the balance, considering the map has 13 cities.

The main thing is to ensure that the AI doesn't take too long to make its moves with such a large number of cities. And if it's a multiplayer map, make sure that the starting conditions are the same for all players. What else needs to be done?

Only scripts. Messages from mobs, maybe a couple of animated sprites on the game engine. The map itself is ready, but it will be easier to balance it if someone plays it and gives feedback from an outside perspective. Otherwise, the map is generally ready.

Well, at least you can add messages from the mobs, it's not difficult, and then upload it. We'll evaluate it. But before working with scripts, make a backup copy of the map.

Anyway, send it over, I'll take a look at the balance.

Should I post it here?
