First NCF map testing
It appears I've just finished first custom scenario featuring NCF creatured and supporting this mod  I post it here as mapmakers guild appears dead and it requires some mod understanding before I write oficial readme 
Info:
Working title: Wanna be Hero
Size: Medium (136) with undeground
Players: 1 human, 5 computer (AI disabled)
Difficulty: hard (maybe too much in some battles?  )
Script: 1700+ lines and growing
Storyline: minimal
Creation time: 2 months
Download version 0.82
Featured creatures (by tier):

3 Dark Angels
Cherub
Thunderbird
Abyss Princess
Mysto Dragon
Omega Dragon
Abyss Angel
Crystal Dragon

Download updated package and tell me if they're all working
Notes:
Map is ridiculously powergamish, move fast forward before neutral stacks grow too many.
There are additional Angel Wings in front of main castle which may be useful when you get stuck somewhere.
Make sure to pick at least one of these: Battle Loots, Dark Magic, Empathy, Swift Mind.
Don't spend huge amount of resources you find, crystals and wood are nessessary for quests.
Known bugs:
Simons Hut is not scripted (unnessessary so far)
Enemy heroes don't want to keep their stacks split
Invaders fail to move
Current testers: Me, Idan, Radar
If you feel like writting some interesting storyline for this map, let me know.

Will we be able to own any of the NCFs, or are they only to fight against?

Yep, but only by the quest possible to finish in the very late game.
So far I focused on building simple Dugenon army.
If I ever generate another map, it will be much more twisted for sure

What creature guards the Runic War Harness? I think it's broken.

I had begun a map like this one. I can give you the story...
Normally, it should be a campaign but I haven't the "voluntarity" to do it. It is the story of a young female orc chief that was token when she was young to be educated in Haven cities. At 12, she flee and centaurs welkome her. Now she's 18 and she heard of some new continents in rumours. In these new continents, there would be totally unknown and very powerful creatures... And then we can introduce easily the concept of NCF.
More details ? (I made a diary script. Day 1 : Diary 1 - Day 2 Diary 2 - Day 6 Diary 3 -... like Heroes III campaigns).

There should be some Crystal Dragons. They work fine in the editor, like all creatures below up to 300, however I needed to create custom creature objects for them. Can't game see it?
Others were placed by script.
TSoD, I was thinking about storyline for THIS map where you are supposed to become the most poweful Warlock ever.

You haven't put Crystal Dragon and Evil Sorceress into the package, that's why I couldn't see it.
And please next time include patches for Enchanter (2.0) and Crystal Dragon (1.01 and texture patch) inside.

I'll try out your map right now! ;p We need NCF maps!
I have created one too!.. to try it out..
Name: Dark Legends
Faction: You can only choose between two factions.. it's a one on one map.. Human vs AI or Human vs Human.. The factions is Inferno and Necropolis..
I have packed a Information file together with the map. Read it!
It uses a lot of NCF's (Maybe not all of the listed, but i think the list is correct..
NCF's:
Evil Sorcereses (not templars)
Nilgirith's creature pack.
Naga
Royal basilisk
Basilisk pack (You know the grim riders without the rider)
Mysto Dragon
Crystal Dragon
Omega Dragon
Wisps
Ghost Charger
Dark Champion
Night Daughter pack
Hereteque
Enchanter
Ghost Knight
Guardian Idol
Royal Guard
Rakshsa Vetala
Minor Walkyrie
Samurai
Skeleton Mage
Rune Lord
Guardians "dark"
Angels "dark"
Undead Cyclops
Elemental Upgrades (Gas, Storm, Plasma, Energy, Magma, Onyx, Ice, Mist)
(Uses radars EvilSorceres instead of Templar)(You can use templars, but that would be far too easy!)
And Fauch's New Upgrades is not a requirement (But it makes it more fun to capture a Hill Fort, and ofcourse it will make the neutrals more variated)
There is alot more of wich mods you should use and not use..
Enjoy!Download

Map updated, two bugs fixed.
Now it will be easier to get though Orcish land, actualy battles should now be possible to win with veyr little casualties.
Would like to hear more feedback Don't forget to post some neat screenshots.
