Is it possible to create maps with more than two levels? Theoretically, it seems possible to me, as there was one map with as many as three levels in "Heroes of Might and Magic V".

Denis17, in "Heroes 3," this is not possible. 1. In "Armageddon's Blade," "The Shadow of Death," and "Horn of the Abyss," there are only two levels: surface and underground. 2. "Chronicles of Heroes" is built on the game engine and, programmatically, in terms of gameplay, does not differ from it in any way: there are no new features there. 3. I just opened the "Lords of Elementals" campaign in the editor (all these campaigns are available as separate files). Let's take a look: Scenario 1 - 1 level; Scenario 2 - 2 levels; Scenario 3 - 1 level; Scenario 4 - 2 levels; Scenario 5 - 2 levels; Scenario 6 - 1 level; Scenario 7 - 2 levels; Scenario 8 - 1 level. If you have found a map or campaign with three levels, please share it! ;) The idea of a third map level was mentioned in an April Fool's joke in 2011 or 2012 on the WoG forum, where the "release of a new version of WoG" was announced with two new cities, ninth-level monsters, an overground map level, and other interesting innovations. But it was just a joke... Perhaps one day, a modder or team will be able to implement such an idea, but it will require modifying/rewriting a huge amount of code. So far, no one has seriously attempted this.
