:cool: Hi everyone. I need help understanding something. When I created my map in Heroes 5 and was playing as the Fortress faction, I noticed that the AI somehow moved through rocks and impassable terrain on the map and appeared next to my city. What's going on? Could it be magic or a spell? How can I prevent this and make the AI move along the paths instead of teleporting from one place to another? How can I remove spells from the AI to make it weaker, or disable some spells in my own map, because it's hard to win otherwise? I'm still inexperienced and don't have much practice. Does the computer play fairly, or does it have some tricks up its sleeve?

The AI cheats on difficult levels (I don't know about the veteran level). But I haven't heard of it moving through mountains.
You can probably only disable this with scripts.
You can remove unnecessary spells for all players (other options involve scripts again). To remove them, go to the map settings; there will be a tab for them.

Guys! Can you please explain: in "Hammers of Fate", I create a random map, but the editor (from the same version) doesn't open it. Why?

As I understand, you probably haven't checked the first pages of the thread yet. But no worries, I'll answer your question. The editor might not open the map for several reasons: the map name is not in English (it should be), or the path to the map goes through folders with names that are not in English. For example: My Documents \ Games \ Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East, but it should be like this: My Documents \ Games \ Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East.

Thank you, but you didn't quite understand correctly: I read everything, but the path to the map actually goes through folders with names that are not in English. I don't understand the logic, but I'll try to fix it. :-)

I'm creating a map in the editor, but when I launch it in the game, it says "1 player" and doesn't start.

Could you please provide information on where I can find details about creating custom templates in the map generator? I see some references to SP1-3P2, but it's not clear.
Also, how can I create a map with a sea that allows for navigation? No matter what I try, the map generator creates a map without water.

I don't understand why rumors are needed on the map and what they even are.

I don't get it – why are rumors needed on the map, and what are they anyway? :)

They are displayed in taverns to add to the atmosphere.

It's like "I was there and saw it," you pay a hundred...

And if you specify the parameter TOWN_NO_TYPE, does that mean the rumor will appear in the tavern from All Terrain? I personally spent 10,000 and didn't see my rumor :D added Regarding mission objectives, can they be changed in the map settings tree? For example, if you set the parameter "capture object" or "defeat hero," how do you specify which object or which hero? It's unclear, and the same goes for failure conditions – losing a hero/city, etc.

shoot-bash! For unknown reasons, I can't launch my own map - everything on the map is selected, there are no problems, but in the menu, the "start game" button is grayed out and can't be used...
