Several newbie questions

[No user name]

I'll be concise here.
Question 1. How do you create heroes that start off at high levels? (As in campaign enemy heroes that are already level whatnot.)
Question 2. How do you create regions?
Question 3. How can you create an alternate "form" type ability? (A la storm crow form.)

2. My way may not be the best way but it works.
Make a trigger which needs a region then go to select region. Click on make new region, make a little box and that's a region.

Or you can just hit "R" while in the terrain editor. It takes you to the region palette.

1. In the trigger editor, create a trigger like so:

event - Map Initialization
action - hero - Set level

2. In the main World Editor window press 'R' then click and drag.

3. Only thing i can suggest is to change the model of the 'crow' to something else.

Also, for the first question, you can double-click the unit in the editor and alter its starting level in the dialog that pops up.

1. If they are preplaced, then just select them, press enter, and change the level. If not, then you have to adjust it with triggers.

3. Base your ability off of Storm Crow Form, and in the field "Data - Alternate Unit", put your unit.
