How do I add maps to the game? I'm not a newbie, but I recently got internet access and encountered this issue.

You save it in the Maps folder, and it will appear among the standard maps.

I did exactly that, but it still doesn't appear.

I had the same problem! Try launching it through the Map Editor. If there are any errors, you can discard this map (and figure out something else to do). At least, I haven't found a way to fix it! :( What a pity!!

Check the version of your heroes... some maps may have been created for a later version (for example, a map created in *Armageddon's Blade* but intended for *The Shadow of Death*) or a map from *In the Wake of Gods*...

I have The Shadow of Death.
Is the map by any chance from *The Shadow of Death*?

try opening it with an editor, then save it with the map version parameter in the properties set to "as a map for The Shadow of Death"...

It might be a silly question, but could you please tell me: Which editor should I use to open the map? Can I open it through the game, or do I need to use another program?

Maps are opened using the "Map Editor".
This is a program called h3maped.exe (or h3ccmped.exe for campaigns),
which is located in the same folder as the game itself (Heroes3.exe).

And if it says: incorrect map file version
File version = 51
Current version = 21
Is there anything that can be done about this? Or do I need to install a later version of the game?

:smile21: I wonder where I can find this...
The Readme file says: This version contains all the fixes
available as of April 22, 1999.
The disc itself is called Heroes 3: Might and Magic: Armageddon's Blade.

In the properties of the executable file, I found a tab: file version - 2.1.0.0.
