Thanks 
I'm going to make a screenshot in-game, but first, the Stronghold dwellings :
As you see, I didn't use the Cyclop dwelling model. I explain : its back presents a hole without texture... Impossible to hide it. Then I used the model of the grail... It already that :s
EDIT : on this screen, the textures are sharpened (yes I use my mod of sharpened Stronghold  ), it will maybe not be as nice in your game as here, sorry

Maybe use cyclop stockpile model?
And shamans dwelling maybe a bit big. Waht about to make it smaller?
But don't worry you are making a gret work for community. Continue!
EDIT: for symbol, try to make an active point at the center of your dwelling. I don't know will it work or not.

There's a Posession Marker Tile in object properties, I believe it'll do the trick.

I discover the way !
In fact, the possession tile only serves for X and Y. For Z, the effect use the height of the used model. And, as they are no model and animset, the effect sets himself at z = 1.
I had the idea of set an empty model. Then I use the model of Azure.xdb, and after a few tries, it works !
I 'll post a screenshot shortly.

well great work TSOD... but not so sure if this is an new discovery...
Maybe some of you have played or atleast looked at my map "The Abysmal"
pretty sure you'll find some "custom" dwellings...
that you can add "town" buildings on the adventure map is something I've known for a long time...
and with some "tweaking" of the mapfilter.xml file you can alomst add whatever you like
what ppl really like to know is an "how to add" explanation
myself included... I've added a few but not so easy to do... so if you manage to make such a file atleast I will be happy TSOD

It's true. I use too new dwellings in my RTMG maps..
However TSoD have showed he's able to integrate new dwellings in editor objects panel...
I think that it's a new discovery.

Thanks, and fiur, know that I didn't even know that you already made it. I thought I was the first to make it, then if you sub-hear that I copy your "discovery" and tell that I found it, it is not cool at all and it is very low...

TSoD good to know you are starting to get better with the editor, but adding stuff to the editor panel isn't new at all. (it's the same method we used for the NCF, modifying the index.bin) Look at [url=http://www.heroes-fr.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?32708]my post in Heroes-fr[/url] 1 year ago and you'll see that it has already been done.
But I don't care I did it before you, all that matters is that people are now starting to use the editor like I used to use it and this is a good thing. You are now adding tutorials to methods some people already knew but never took the time to publish.
The disadvantage with modifying the index.bin is that any patch will overwrite your work and you'll have to recreate your files all over again. One solution is to use the fact that the index.bin in the maps/mods act as a complement to the original index.bin in the data folder which means that it is "patch proof". The downside is that it's exclusive to your current map/mod opened in the editor so you'll have to copy it in all your maps.
Anyway keep up the exploration of the editor and keep on informing the community about its capabilities.

Then if I understand, when a patch is officially release, I copy my index.bin in a safe place, then update my game, then I place the index.bin in the UserMODs directory and it will "patch" the new index.bin like the MODs "patch" the game itself ?

Nope, what I mean is that the index.bin in the :
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\Editor\H5MMods\[MAP NAME HERE]\
Complement the original index.bin when that map is loaded in the editor

Sh*t.
It a bit embarrassing 
And if we place it in
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\Editor\H5MMods\
directly, won't it work

I've just finished the Sylvan dwellings.
We don't see well for the treant and the unicorn glade, but all the effects are there

I've got a question: since some of these dwellings are bigger than the Military Post in one direction, wouldn't that make it possible to screw some maps which don't have space for them?

mmh...I know that a new dwelling is immaterial...
any heroes may pass through! and their traject's calculation ignores them.
that has been tested in the game.

That's probably because you ignore the <blockedTiles> tag property of the dwelling.
