There is a mod that makes leveling in h5 like h3, and I think with that it is reasonable. For comparison in MMH6 all tavern heroes are bought 5 levels below your main automatically.
Your main concern is I think kamikaze/armageddon secondaries. In H5 heroes take turns like creatures and kamikaze can be countered with swift mind and/or counterspell perks. But as I recall H3 heroes can open spellbook right away with first creature turn, so maybe it's more a concern in H3?

Well hit&run is a tumultuous issue in H3, the majority will ask to ban it, while a minority seeking for more challenging game-play will keep it. I am in the minority, for the simple reason that there are a lot of tools the designers gave us to counter hit&run: speed, cursed ground, a bunch of magic blocking artifacts, a bunch of magic resistant creatures, shackles of war, resistance skill, heroes chaining and so on.
So no, it does not enter in my considerations. What I want is to create a more fluid heroes chain late game, also allow to latest hour recruited heros to level fast. Note that I intend to give a movement penalty to mentors, which fades away every day going on, but still will penalize that hero.

I remember that by changing map_editor_mode to 10 (I think) in editor.cfg, you get some 'modding' tools in editor. I know I was able to open UI there, and play with it, but I was never able to do anything smart and useful with that.
Did you get "any plus" by making this change? I have started working on a Campaign and I am wondering if there could be a benefit. What value is the cfg default?
Default value is 1, I believe. For map editing purposes, I didn't find any plus, but this editor mod allows you to edit (an I guess create) cutscenes. One thing, though, is that when I saved a map in this editor mode, campaign editor was unable to see that map.

--GenerateMonsters(monsterTypeID, countGroupsMin, countGroupsMax, countInGroupMin, countInGroupMax)
increment = increment+1;
GenerateMonsters(38, 100, 150, 50*increment, 80*increment);
GenerateMonsters(16, 50, 100, 30*increment, 50*increment);
GenerateMonsters(17, 40, 80, 16*increment, 25*increment);

GenerateMonsters(17, 40, 80, 16*increment, 25*increment);
end;
end;
The Trigger function that I marked is not needed.

I will try to explain.
When you create map, on the left side there is a field called Resources. Expand it, and right click on field SavesFilenames and select Add:
You will get an item named 0 (later, there will be 1, 2, etc). Expand it and you will get something like this:
Click on New, enter filename and then enter your text. When you finish, you will get a path to you text file there. You can see that on this image:
Copy that path and use it in your message box function (you may need to change with /, I'm not certain). On my example, it would be:
MessageBox("Maps/SingleMissions/mojaProba1/test.txt");
I hope that this helps

It is possible. But I think that there was a function that works. Note that I'm not sure if this will work, but it is worth a try.
Function is
MessageBoxForPlayers(playerFilter, "pathToText");
Parameters:
playerFilter - it is a filter that says which players will see the message. Filter values are next:
PLAYERFLT_1 = 1
PLAYERFLT_2 = 2
PLAYERFLT_3 = 4
PLAYERFLT_4 = 8
PLAYERFLT_5 = 16
PLAYERFLT_6 = 32
PLAYERFLT_7 = 64
PLAYERFLT_8 = 128
PLAYERFLT_ALL = 255
YOu can use both constants or numbers. Also, if you want only some players to receive the message, you can just add them, e.g. MessageBoxForPlayers(PLAYERFLT_1 + PLAYERFLT_3,...) will show message to players 1 and 3.
pathToText - same argument as the one for MessageBox function.

Working
Is it only me - or does the editor crashes almost everytime when something in the script is edited?

Glad to hear that
I remembered an useful function that can be useful : GetMapDataPath().
You can use it for message file path. For example, instead of:
MessageBox("Maps/SingleMissions/MapName/test.txt");
you can write:
MessageBox(GetMapDataPath().."test.txt");
.. is concatenation operator for strings
EDIT:
As for editor crashes, yes it happens. Write your script in some external editor (like Notepad++) and just copy/paste it.

Just a short question again (im newby in scriptin  ) - but willing to learn
How do i stop a trigger?
I created a region. When a hero runs into the region, a battle begins.
Problem: Everytime i ran into that region, the battle begins again and again - how do i stop that?
My script right now is:
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER,"P1F1","pl1f1");
function pl1f1()
MessageBox("Maps/Multiplayer/Neue Version inf/P1F1Message.txt");
StartCombat("Biara", nil, 1, 1, 13);
sleep(2);
end;
How do i end it again?
Thx for your patience and will to help a newby

Glad that I can help
To turn off trigger, just pass nil as a handler function. FOr your example it should be something like this:
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER,"P1F1",nil);
Your whole script could look like this:
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER,"P1F1","pl1f1");
function pl1f1()
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER,"P1F1",nil);
MessageBox("Maps/Multiplayer/Neue Version inf/P1F1Message.txt");
StartCombat("Biara", nil, 1, 1, 13);
sleep(2);
end;
Basically, when you run the trigger function for the first time, the first thing that it will do is disable that trigger for further use

I second that. 7zip is quite handy. Duplicating to Downloads...what a sweet idea.

Now i got an intresting Problem... May this time its a bit harder to code...
Is it possible to "Count" all Monsters on the map?
I want to create a small "mapdefence":
All over the map Spawn Monster. Player have to rush through them and kill them. If the number of Monsters is higher then 3.000 (random number) - all Player loose.
Is that possible?
