so, a friend and I are trying to do some multiplayer homm5: ToE
problem is we don't have any multiplayer maps that we can;

A) Choose our own factions
B) Team up!

I tried to randomly generate a map but that didn't work out so well since it still leaves it FFA. I tried to change the teams options in the map editor but that made it so the map wasn't even visible to the game! said something about rmg marker being lost and removing multiplayer regeneration.
Is there an FAQ somwhere for setting up multiplayer games quickly without the hours of frustration we've already endured?

There's some good HV maps actually on the main site do a search to see if any meet your requirements. https://www.celestialheavens.com/search2.php
if there are awesome, if not see if some are close you can then edit the teams and since they arent randomly generated they wont be locked out by any random map crap.
