You're not an idiot. They go into the maps folder of HV. If you don't have a maps folder, then open the map editor, and close it again. it should put a map folder in the HV directory, and you put your downloaded maps in there, after you unzip them.

I have a related question. Do I need the expansion pack to play downloaded maps then? I don't have it currently...

Welcome to the forums, Theophila A and nemanja!

TheophilaA: It depends on the map. Here in the map database at CH, you'll be able to see if a map is playable without the expansion pack. If it's not, then you'll need the exp. pack.

A simple tip: If it has snow, you need the expansion (that was a heartless barb against Nival ).

I dont have the map editor for some reason. and all i have is my disc. So how can i create a map directory for the game to use? I tried creating a maps folder but that didnt work (in quite a few places). But im sure theres a way of manually doing it.

any advice?

create a folder named maps in your h5 folder, insert maps into folder, as far as the map editor is concerned u must have HOF or u can download it from somewhere

Exactly.

The editor is included in patch 1.3 (AFAIK, there's no standalone version of it).
