FAQ

How can I upload a map/mod on the website?
You have to be a registered member to upload content.

Will I be able to modify or update my uploaded files?
Yes, after your content is published on the site you gain access to modify your submitted information and update your uploaded files.

How do I install a mod? Do I know if it will work?
Every mod has separate installation instructions included in the package (unless hosted outside HoMMdb). It is very important to understand that modding usually requires modifying of original game files, and by doing so you may end up making the game unplayable. Always make backup copies of the original files and follow the installation instructions carefully.
Mods are reviewed before release on HoMMdb, but there is no guarantee a mod will work completely as intended. Please use the comment system to report the author of any incompatibilities or bugs.

Why do the files have to be approved?
Without a manual approval process there would be no control whatsoever what kind of content would get published, and the site would be very vulnerable to misuse. Although the files are reviewed carefully, HoMMdb does not take any responsibility for possible damage occurred to your game or your system.
