'''Will it be possible to add custom hero portraits in the Fanstratics map editor, or will it be possible to use only portraits of existing heroes, as in HoMM3?'''

Hero Portraits will be limited, and the reasoning for this is simple.  If we give the community the ability to import any picture they want... well... I think you can imagine someone will eventually import adult material.  From a developer perspective, it’s best to keep this feature un-customizable.


'''Will Fanstratics have a campaign editor?  Will Fanstratics use a campaign map where territories are highlighted where the scenario takes place, just like HoMM3?  If so, will it be possible to load a custom campaign map and highlight territories on it?'''

As to a Campaign Editor, I’m leaning against it, but it’s presently undecided.  Why?  Community Campaign tools simply aren’t used very much.  If you look at Map4Heroes.com, there are over 2000+ HoMM3 maps.  Of these maps, ~30 entries are multi-map campaigns.  This translates into ~1.5%.  We’ll see what happens.
