is there any way to enable cheats on hotseat?

[priamossz]

Hi guys my question is in the title. I need it in order to play with my friend as I wish to give him a tear of asha as a handicap as I played this game since my childhood while he played like 50-100 hours so far and in each game I ended up defeating him, including in the most recent one where at the start I sent all my starting gold to him as a handicap.

Cheating in a hotseat game is not possible. But you could edit the map and add a tear of asha.

never done that before, i can try give it a go, thank you for the idea

If you need help with the map editor I will help you. :)

looks like the devs thought about this, if I try to save it I get a message about it.

[Piratminer]

Yeah but if you send the map to all people there is no problem.

the problem is that i cant save the change at all so i would not be able to send it to my friend or use it myself. I essentially generated a new map using the auto gen. tried to place a tear of asha in front of his town in the map editor and it did not let me save the change. and in this case i would not need to send it to him as the game is on my pc and we are using a program called parsec to play hotseat together (parsec is esentially let me give access to my pc remotely to him)

What does it say if you want to save?
Interesting way to play Heroes 5 multiplayer.

well as I said i tried to just edit a random gen map and for starters i get this amount of error signs. I can place an object or two but I am by no means know how to use the map editor. I did copy pasta the entire message and I also get a second message that I cant copy/pasta so I just type it below the first on quick

As you've changed this map, rmg maker will be lost and multiplayer regeneration wont work.

[Piratminer]

Ah ok. That's good. This is normal. Just press ok to the long message of "Map Problems". It just means that these are not specified and will be selected randomly.
"As you've changed this map, rmg maker will be lost and multiplayer regeneration wont work." just means that the map is not automatically downloaded by other players when they join.
