Tieru if you want to learn how to write scripts, I recommend Ogo-i's guide on his website all4heroes.net. It's perfectly written and contains everything a beginner needs!
P.S. Does anyone know how to make an object on the map glow?

Press Ctrl+M, then select the object, then find the Amberlight parameter and choose the color and intensity of the lighting.

Hey guys, newbie question – where should I unpack the maps? I downloaded them, now what do I do?

Guys, is it possible to implement this idea: an official map called "battle two versus two." Four teardrop-shaped islands and an island with artifacts in the middle. The battle objective is to capture magic books stored on the central island. Currently, the game follows the usual pattern – fighting near your own walls, and there's simply no time to reach the central island. But what if we made it impossible to dock at enemy shores? So that all battles take place around and on the central island – specifically for the books? We could also strengthen the creatures on this island to make it more interesting. Could someone make this happen?

Hey, noob question – where should I unpack the maps? I downloaded them, but what do I do next?

Unpack the maps into the folder where you have Heroes of Might and Magic V installed, specifically in the Tribes of the East/Maps directory.

Specifically, in the Maps folder:smile14:

And also, there shouldn't be any Russian characters in the path to the folder.

Well, actually, it's not even necessary. You can first put it on the desktop and then cut and paste it into the Maps folder. But it's worth doing this only if you have a good cleaning program, otherwise there will be a lot of unnecessary files:smile13:

Does anyone know how to add a spell to the global map? I just saw a map with a meteor shower, and it looked really cool.

It would be nice to know. Unfortunately, I can’t even play on the global map. I don’t have the time:smile50:

So, I'll continue...
Having arrived at the shores of the Empire, Belket had two tasks:
First, to meet with the Thieves' Guild, which he tasked with stealing all four artifacts, collecting them, and sending the artifacts by ship to Heresh to his apprentice, Zoltan.
Second, to visit the border areas in the west (more precisely, the once densely populated region of Myren, which suffered from a plague epidemic two years ago and is now deserted), and replenish the ranks of his army with the large number of people who died from the epidemic.
He was quite surprised to see the real terror that some red squads were causing in the duchy. From informants, it became clear that the Duke had entered into an alliance with a secret society, or rather a sect that had been operating in the western regions of the Empire for over a hundred years; the sect was called "The Light of Truth."
Immediately after landing, Belket encountered a large detachment of sectarians, which he was able to destroy. From the survivors, he learned that the Duke is in the Greyrock Castle, a large port, where the entire leadership of the Church of Truth is also located. Everything is fine, but with a small detachment, Belket will not be able to reach the castle. He will have to first visit the cemeteries and ruined villages on the western outskirts and find out where the artifacts of interest are located. And Greyrock will have to be taken because the nearest shipyard is located there, which means that "The Light of Truth" will soon be extinguished:)
As is clear from what has been read, the opponents in the first mission will be Humans, namely Red Fanatics (landlords, archers, zealots, etc.). The task is to obtain the four artifacts of Sar-Issa (Crown, Scepter, Robe, and Ring) and capture the Greyrock Castle on the eastern edge of the map. The artifacts will be with the seers, and to obtain them, various tasks will have to be completed (bringing money, defeating an enemy detachment, freeing the leader from the dungeon, and delivering the required artifact). What do you think?
P.S. Tieru, if you want to help, you are welcome;)

there will be Humans, specifically Red Fanatics

they didn't exist at that time

a ship in Heresh

I think the Necromancer's country is called Erathia.

Okay, if you don't know, could you at least tell me how to add several creatures to a stack?

What do you mean? Do you want to split the army? Hold down Shift and drag a creature to another cell within the player's army, and a window will pop up.

there will be Humans, specifically Red Fanatics

You know, in Tribes of the East, there's a scenario about Kurak; there weren't any Red Fanatics back then either, but they are present. And even though it's not Isabel's army, it's completely different; they just fit the role of fanatics better. Although, you could use the unupgraded ones and the old upgrade, and make the Red Fanatics into Inquisitors:)

Actually, the Necromancer's country is called Erathia

Sorry, I got carried away :)

No, you misunderstood. For example, on the map, there's a unit consisting of Imps, Phoenixes, and Knights, or something else, all in one unit.
