@Archimp, do you make sure that you are in the same team.and if you want to edit the victory objective you can go to the map properties tree and find out the objective option, there you can edit them.

@Archimp -- for team wins where all players get the win and no one on the team get a loss, make sure the winning objective has the Allow Multiple Completions parameter set to true. (I am doing this from memory so I might not have the name of that parameter exactly correct.)
@manbot47 -- About those water ramps... make sure you created the water with the Lower tool not the river tool. And, to make it easier, like mentioned earlier, make sure the shore is has a straight edge at least three tiles long. Then, click and hold on the shore tile, and then drag the mouse into the water. Use a tool size that is smaller than the straight edge you are trying to make the ramp from.

It turned out to be incredible hard to force AI keep its army split into stacks. And yes, it is important feature for the map I'm hoping to finish soon.
I tried use Trigger combined with StartCombat function, but it returns error saying "Hero cannot be touched". Also, I can't disable interact for him.
The enemy hero was meant to run freely over the map, so combat is not launched with script at wish.

@Warmonger, you can use the EnableHeroAI( heroname, false )function to turn off the control of a AI's hero, besides, the hero which you will use in the StartCombat function must be a reserved hero.

@ manbot47 -- In my directions for water ramps, I did not mention that you use the Ramp tool, but you already knew that right?

I already have more than 30 heroes with disabled AI on my map  It doesn't make them keep stacks split in combat...
Anyway, thanks for the tip about reserved hero, will keep this in mind.
It is invader, which means script-controlled, but present on adventure map. The problem is how to bind any function to this hero?

I dont know there are such functions to ban the hero to split his stack, but if you use StartCombat function the existed armies of the hero will be ignored, instead of the armies in the function.

I know and I can calculate the number of creatures to be fought. What I can't is to TRIGGER the function in any way.

Does it work if you put a Combat Script on your hero? (I mean, put a script in the "CombatScript" property of the hero)
I never tried any of this so I'm not sure.

Probably it does, but what is the point 
Coming back to the main question: How to make enemies keep their stacks of same type split in battle?

Doesn't that Combat Script trigger when the fight starts? I'm not sure since I never used it, but if it does, then you triggered the function, which is what you wanted in your previous post. Don't know how you can make the AI split stacks though.

@Warmonger-- my understanding is that the AI splits/combines stacks based on certain internal game parameters, which you cannot alter with the script. As I recall, splitting/combining is based on the level of difficulty chosen by the player and on the number of creatures in the stacks.
I got around the problem by attacking (via the script function) and assigning different creatures to each of the AI army slots. Thus, since all the army slots were occupied by a different type of creature, the AI could not split or combine any particular creature or stack. Of course this technique works well for ambushes, but with a little creativity you should be able to get the effect you desire with other types of attacks.
Hope this helps.

Maybe you can try this ,use Winrar to open your map, find the map Maps/SingleMissions folder , and rename it as Multiplayer.

Yes that should work, the game reads that folder and decides if it's a single or multi player map.

Does anyone know whether there's a function to set the enemy hero in a siege, regardless of where that hero is on the adventure map? Many thanks.

I can't believe I can't find a function to teleport a hero somewhere (or in town) 
I was thinking to call the SiegeTown function after teleporting the enemy hero in the castle, but I can't seem to find any function like that...

Same, I find it a little too weird that Heroes V's scripting would be as limited as that. There must be a way...
