Installed the game from a different disc, and now the players in the editor can be placed normally.
Before this, I always created maps in Heroes of Might and Magic III, and now I decided to learn Heroes of Might and Magic V. Sorry, I don't always understand everything right away.

I placed two different heroes, each with one town, the main task is to collect 25 wood, I save - it says the heroes don't have names. The names are there. What should I do?

Try ignoring it. If it runs, then that’s fine.

I have a question: is it possible to place creatures on towers or on some kind of building or mountains?

I tried it once, but it didn't work.

Ah, yes, that only works with static objects. Create a new static object: switch the editor to advanced mode (see the FAQ), check the box next to AdvMapStaticShared in the list, create a new object, and assign it a model and animation from a monster. Then, place it on the map.

What should I do? I'm creating a map, and when I try to launch it, it works. I continue working on it, and suddenly the map won't launch. The computer says there's no main hero on the map, but there is! Also, can I place more towns than heroes on the map? (The map saves correctly, 185KB).

1. Mandatory conditions: there must be one hero/castle that the player can control, and another hero/castle controlled by AI.

2. Yes, you can, you can place up to 40 castles.

In the Sphinx's properties, the first field for the answer should contain the correct one.

How do I change the name and description of a map in the tasks? I'm creating a new map, I've changed the names and descriptions, but they remain the same.

It doesn't work with statics either. No matter what coordinate I set, it stays in the same place.
