* Tools -> ''Validate Map'' (or pressing M {{withmapedhota}}) can be used to find errors or issues in the map. Note that maps may work without fixing some of the issues. Possible issues include, among others, lack of players, inaccessible visitable cells, lack of customization in the Map Specifications (particularly the title, description and the players), presence of [[Border Guard]]s without their appropriate [[Keymaster's Tent]]s and vice versa, presence of unconnected [[Monolith]]s or [[Subterranean Gate]]s and presence of [[Subterranean Gate]]s without the underground layer. Note that some issues will ''not'' be pointed by this tool, for example presence of Airships on Water, not next to shore (where they cannot be accessed). | * Tools -> ''Validate Map'' (or pressing M {{withmapedhota}}) can be used to find errors or issues in the map.

Chosen spells may be banned here. They will not ''randomly'' spawn in Mage guilds or Spell scrolls and won't be accessible from artifacts such as Spell scrolls, [[Tome of Air|Tomes of elements]] or the [[Spellbinder's Hat]]<sup>{{unk}}</sup>. Adding them to a Mage guild manually won't work. | |||

Available secondary skills can be customized by banning or enabling chosen skills. Heroes who start with a banned skill will still be able to upgrade them, but other heroes won't be able to learn these skills, apart from the Universities (as long as they're customized to give the chosen skill), customized Scholars, Events and Pandora's Boxes. Witch Huts will automatically ignore banned skills when choosing a random skill to teach, and if customized to only provide a banned skill, will appear empty, with an appropriate message. | Available secondary skills can be customized by banning or enabling chosen skills.
