Thanks JimV, strange indeed. Time ago any email I sent to you returned asap if any http link was inside. But then was fixed. Let's hope.
(Maybe there were too many spells and my provider got overloaded?)

A hint for JimV: I forgot the special terrain type-Magic Plains/Lucid Pools
I think it's easy for you(BU:G),my negligence: )

Another good point, Yexian7. I forgot about that too. Here is a version with special terrain accounted for:

As you know, but others may not, the ERM Help has the terrain codes for Magic Plains and Cursed Ground switched in its table (at least the original version of ERM Help which came from the WoG site; there are some other typos in the Help document which I would like to correct some day). That is, in Format BI Magic Plains is listed as code 2 but 1 is correct.
I noticed something interesting when I tested this time. If I cast a Force Field and the enemy Hero casts Dispel in the same round, then if I cast FF again in the next round at the same location, it disappears one round later, when the original FF would have disappeared. Not only that, but if I cast FF again at that location in the third round, it disappears in the fourth round, and so on, until I run out of spell points.
This is certainly better than a crash, but not quite as good as having a FF which lasts two rounds (since the original location of the FF is probably a strategic location). My original method of replacing FF's with cloud-hole obstacles would retain the two rounds, but would make the script even longer (and clumsier).

Yes,FF's original location is key location,hardcode is counting rounds to refresh Battlefield.
Leave the remaining work to time.Trees will grow slowly and script will be better

Sorry for another long post. This should be my last one, unless Yexian7 comes up with another new idea. I will put all my comments in front, followed by a long script, composed of my original script with Yexian7's more elegant script added on. The first part of the script turns Force Fields into cloud-hole obstacles, and removes them after two rounds. It also removes cloud-hole-simulated-FF's if Expert Dispel is cast. Then Yexian7's script checks for Expert Dispel or Advanced/Expert Remove Obstacle, and eliminates any (actual) FF's or Firewalls if either of these spells is cast.
Limitations (compared to how a bug-free version of Heroes should work): the simulated FF spell does not reduce or increase the mana cost of the spell if Arch Mages or Silver Pegasi are present; and a Firewall cast in the next round and the same location as one which has just been cast and immediately Dispelled will only last one round.

Script is one way,Hardcode is another way.
Perhaps someday this bug will be fixed from a better way.
So just keep on learningătrying and enjoy the game
