Mapconverter
Just a single wish like others would like a map generator. My wish is a map converter, since most terrain are the same in the Heroes series a map from one Heroes version would be able to be converted into another Heroes. Since balance in the games vary greatly from game to game, no doubt you would have to do some balancing yourself. Also since the mountain/forest design changed in H4 All mountains and forests would be deleted when converting, so this is mostly a H1-H3 applicable desire. Still, I would really like to be able to play "Broken alliance" (What a map!) in all Heroes versions. Understand, I don't like remaking maps from scratch, merely the terrain is a great help. Unlike some multiplayers, I tend to "fall" for some maps. An unrealistic wish from a lone Heroes player, what do you think?

GREAT IDEA!!! H2 had some sick maps. I can't play those maps becuz i broke my h2 CD. It might be hard to create but it would be worth it. It would be like going back in time

Two things here:
1- the broken alliance: I converted the map. It is not exactly like the original because H4 has larger objects, so the map is an L map and some elements were changed. Also, I added a lot of scripts and side quests. The player can play without completing those quests. The three testers liked the map, I don't know whether they liked the map as is or as a converted map, but the original map was so good that the new one cannot be bad. It will be available soon at Celestial Heavens.
2- converting map from terrains only: you can take a screenshot of the cleaned minimap in h2 or H3, resize it and import it in an H4 map using H4util. Also, don't forget to change the color of the terrain to the color of the same terrain in H4 (minimap color).

This sounds like a job for a fan made project rather than something that comes with the game since I've never heard of such a utility before.
However, a piece of software that could convert any Heroes map into a map for any other Heroes game (or expansion) would be a cool utility. Terrain would be rather easy, but objects and script would be a real challenge (particularly objects; you could discard the script). You would also have to reverse engineer all the map formats which is not trivial. And Heroes 4 would be an even tougher conversion because of what has already been mentioned.
Then again, maybe there's not enough similarity to do this except between expansions.

your idea could go places. since i am not sure where to put this, i will say that i wish there was a thing where you could ranodom generate a map over certain places that you have partialy engineered. for instance, i could make a maze type map, then ask random map generator to only randomly generate the map in a certain place, like in the middle.
