Why can't there be more than 8 castles on the map? There could be 12, or even 20. But there can't be more than 8 players.

P.S. You can ignore the errors that the editor warns about – the map will still launch; how playable it will be depends more on you than on the editor. Good luck with mapmaking!

Bel has a very silly question. But Bel created a map, and now she doesn't know what to do with it so that it can be played, because it doesn't appear in either the multiplayer maps or the single-player maps in the game itself. Please tell me how to upload it there? +)

The maps should be in the Maps folder, which is located in the game's installation directory (if the folder doesn't exist, create it). Also, the path to the map should be in English (as well as the map's name): Games/Heroes of Might and Magic V/Maps.

Thank you so much! I've already searched the entire forum and the manual, and my head is spinning.

Here are the questions:
1. Is it possible to modify existing maps?
2. If creating maps with an underground, how do you transition from the surface to the underground?
3. How do you create maps like campaigns/scenarios?
4. How do you create a portal link (entrance) and exit? I made a bunch of them, and when a hero enters one, they should teleport to the castle, but instead, they end up somewhere completely different. What should I do?
5. How do you unite players/computers into an alliance?

1. File/Open/ select the desired map and modify it.
2. View/Show Underground
3. This is a rather lengthy process, involving a lot of work with scripts, etc. I advise you to communicate with people on the forum of this site: http://all4heroes.net, there are many experienced map makers there.
4. Select a portal, press the spacebar, set the Groups, the same numbers on 2 different portals mean they are linked (that's how it should work, I've never checked it myself :) )

I don't know about the lighting, but there is a button on the control panel called Make Screenshot, which is used to take screenshots.

I have another question: how do I create multiple quests, and how do I make them appear at a specific time? For example, if the first quest, "capture the castle," is completed, the second quest, "defeat the enemy," appears.

And I have a question: half of my maps don't load into the game. How can I fix this?
There can be many reasons why the game doesn't recognize the map: the map is not finished, the map name is in Russian...
