I'm thinking of just adding a bunch of battles with highlighting and not worrying about it.

1. I made a map, everything is fine, but the opponent (computer) doesn't engage in battles (even against 10 units with 150 gold dragons), it only picks up easy loot. I didn't use scripts. What's the problem? Do I need to set priorities for the computer?
This bothers me more.

In the middle of the Dungeon, I have a large lake. The background is black, so without lighting, nothing is visible when moving on a ship.
Let's try a "perversion," I'll give it a shot.
Ment was right, using torches and crystals will cause fewer problems. :D
In general:
1. We 'hide' the ship, already with lighting, in an inconspicuous place.
2. We place a trigger on the shipyard.
3. Upon contact with the shipyard, we teleport the ship to the desired location, i.e., near the shipyard.
...yes, here you'll also need to play around with the ship's price, the purchase message, etc. :smile33:
It's not that difficult to figure out why the computer isn't attacking; send me the map draft (you can send it in a private message), I'll take a look and maybe I'll figure out what's going on.

Here's the corrected version of your map. + A script opens the fog of war - on the 3rd day (Talanar), the computer killed the griffins. (sent in a private message)
I have version 3.1, so you messed something up - it seems you were trying to make a Campaign, as a result, extra folders with incorrect paths appeared, and that's why the start was impossible. It also didn't load as a Campaign.
Check it - everything should work, everything is fine for me, so I don't think you'll need any priorities for the computer. :cool:

How to change the creature growth rate in a castle, the "CreatureHired" value?
Герман стоял неподвижно. Герман сошёл с ума. "Старуха!!!" - закричал он в ужасе. Он сидит в Обуховской больнице, в семнадцатом нумере, не отвечает ни на какие вопросы и бормочет необыкновенно скоро: "Тройка, семёрка, туз. Тройка, семёрка, дама".

How to change the creature growth rate in a castle, or "CreatureHired" using a script and the SetObjectDwellingCreatures function?

Here's a simple example:

SetObjectDwellingCreatures('HeavenTown', CREATURE_ARCHER, GetObjectDwellingCreatures('HeavenTown', CREATURE_ARCHER)+12);
A more complex example (here, the growth rate is increased randomly for a random level of creatures in a town named TOWN_DWARVEN):

dwellingRnd = random(6);
if IsObjectExists(TOWN_DWARVEN) == true then
		if dwellingRnd == 0 then
			dwellingCreatures = 92;
			text = GetMapDataPath()..'dwelling_d01.txt';
		elseif dwellingRnd == 1 then
			dwellingCreatures = 94;
			text = GetMapDataPath()..'dwelling_d02.txt';
		elseif dwellingRnd == 2 then
			dwellingCreatures = 96;
			text = GetMapDataPath()..'dwelling_d03.txt';
		elseif dwellingRnd == 3 then
			dwellingCreatures = 98;
			text = GetMapDataPath()..'dwelling_d04.txt';
		elseif dwellingRnd == 4 then
			dwellingCreatures = 100;
			text = GetMapDataPath()..'dwelling_d05.txt';
		elseif dwellingRnd == 5 then
			dwellingCreatures = 102;
			text = GetMapDataPath()..'dwelling_d06.txt';
		elseif dwellingRnd == 6 then
			dwellingCreatures = 104;
			text = GetMapDataPath()..'dwelling_d07.txt';
		end;
		count = GetObjectDwellingCreatures(TOWN_DWARVEN, dwellingCreatures);
		if count > 0 then
			dwellingCount = count*3;
			SetObjectDwellingCreatures(TOWN_DWARVEN, dwellingCreatures, dwellingCount);
			MessageBox(text);
		else
			print('addDwellingCreatures: Dwelling (creatures id: '..dwellingCreatures..' in Dwarven town not found');
		end;
end;

You can also do this with a mod, but in that case, the growth rate will be increased for all towns on all maps (not recommended :smile28: )

Thank you. I found it myself. What is the best way to modify the "refugee camp" so that it contains all creatures (orcs, dwarves, neutrals, all levels)?

they are already there (they just appear randomly). If you meant that all of them should be immediately available for hiring, then that is not possible. You could create a new building with 7 creatures and give it the model and parameters of the refugee camp (but this is a rather complex method).

Surprisingly, you are not the first to ask this question. antonag07 has created a mod that adds dwarves and orcs to it. By understanding its structure, it will be easy to add neutrals and low-level creatures there as well.

Thank you! I'll experiment with it. "Refugee Camp" works, all types of creatures, regular and alternate upgrades, and neutral creatures are available.

Right on the map itself? Well, I personally sometimes enjoy changing the music based on the type of terrain using a mod. If you change it for all terrain types, you'll get the effect you're looking for, if I understand correctly.

Yes, but still, how?
Maybe you can use Play2DSound for this?

You could create a region, place that command within it, and thus trigger the desired music in a specific area. However, it would be better to use Play3DSound if possible.

Sure, you can do it that way, although I used 2D sound. But there are two significant drawbacks: 1) the sound won't be very audible due to the background music; 2) you need to put in some effort to embed the sound into the map; it won't work if you just copy it from the music folder.

2) You need to put in a little effort to pack the sound into the map; it won't work if you take it from the music folder.
That's strange; I managed to make it work from the music folder, but it only worked sometimes. I don't know what it is or why it happens. :confused:

Regarding 2sound and 3sound – I used to think that only 2sound worked. However, both work – it's just that 3sound plays at a specific point and stops when you move away from that point (and there's a dependency on the position of the flying camera on the global map), so it's not always audible.
