I've encountered the following problem: when creating new maps for Heroes 6 multiplayer, I can't play them in online games. I install the maps in the corresponding folder in my "My Documents" directory, but they only appear when playing against the AI or in a single-player game. When creating a network game, these maps are not listed. Please help me solve this problem:confused:. Thank you in advance.

I think it’s simple: pass the map to your opponent when you both have it, and you’ll be able to play.

It's not that simple. The thing is, when creating a game in multiplayer, I can't choose a specific opponent; it's only possible after the game is created. And when creating a game with new maps, they don't appear at all. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether my opponent has the map or not.

The same was true in the 5th installment. If the versions don't match (1.6, 3.0, 3.1, as they were in the 5th game), you couldn't play, or, conversely, custom maps created by players wouldn't be visible. These maps need to be integrated into the game physically, in my opinion, rather than simply by dragging them into the document and settings.

The topic is relevant, please share your thoughts on this. When creating a multiplayer game on a map created in a "homemade" way, the latest version 1.1.1 was used. I repeat, when creating the game, we do not choose an opponent; they connect to us after the game is created, so the version issue is not relevant.

How do you play over a local network? If it’s possible, please let me know!

Max1979, I only know how to do it using the Hamachi program; it's simple and straightforward. Look for relevant topics on the forum about this program.

Hello everyone!
I downloaded 9 new maps and put them in "C:\Users\PHILIN\My Documents\Might & Magic Heroes VI\Scenario". I can see the maps in "hotseat" and "skirmish" modes, but they are not visible in "multiplayer" mode. WHAT SHOULD I DO? ;)

Here's what I was told by technical support:
"You cannot play custom maps online in Heroes 6. They only support scenario mode (if the map is for single-player), two players on one computer, and skirmish."

Nightmare! O_O
