IMPORTANT - MULTIPLAYER MAPS
Need A quickie help -- to any of you who have the game right now, can you check to see what the 10 multiplayer maps are? If you could list them here, then I can add them to the maps list on ToH, and activate ToH for homm5 gaming. I think I might have homm5 next week, so I won't know what the maps are till then.

Divided Loyalties,Dragon Pass,Heritage,Mystic's vale,Neighbours,Peninsula,Rise to Power,Subterranean Treasures,The Land of Outcasts,Warlords.
Peninsula is the only map for 2 players and quite good before new maps made

Well Ves, when are you officially going to start counting games since some may get an obivious advantage in this case? And the reporting system is not totally ready
Not to pick on your schedule this was totally unexpected.

Only one two player map? Man that kind of sucks, doesn't it? Well as long as the AI is in the other 3+ player modes, then I guess 1v1 can be played on all the 10 maps. I'll add them to the winloss report program now.
TOH is completely ready to start winloss reports, but I'm going to wait a day or two to get feedback from people playing on the matching service to see what is going on, how reliable things are etc..
Just because a few will get a few days heads-start on playing does not mean they will have some sort of great advantage!

only 10 MP maps, and some of them sound like copies of earlier HoMM maps.. not that there's anything bad about remakes but you would think they woulda had time to make more than 10.

Actually, the more maps they release -> bigger chance of there being maps with certain "cheat cheat" tricks and such.
I'd rather have few maps that are balanced imo. Or we'll see some guy with 40 wins 0 losses in a week from now.

I figure this is an important question since it will have to do with MP games.
Does H5 have a random generator?

He asked for a random generator, not a map editor
The random generator will only be for the add-on, probably next year 
As for the map editor, he will be given to download in 1 or 2 months (probably jully)

Also I noticed a M&M Universe on the http://www.mightandmagic.com/us/community.php website, that had a little spot that said MAPS (COMING SOON)
This could be similar to a Map repository that the game maker can toss out there when the demand picks up and server rooms are starting to overflow with players want to play more different style of maps.

if all 10 maps are high quality, really well-balanced maps, then sure, that will be fine. However, until i see that, then i doubt it. still damn excited to get my hands on the game tho

You know it's too bad there wasn't a sort of requirement in the game that you had to both have the map being played and it did some sort of version check before linking the two players up at the start of the game. If it saw a difference between the two in when the game was created and last modified it wouldn't allow the two players to connect. That would make it extremely difficult for anyone to make any edits on their maps that were unknown to the other player.
