Each multiplayer scenario has two files, like this:
\data\maps\multiplayer\Example
\data\scenarios\multiplayer\Example.cfg
Objects, creatures, etc, must be added to the CFG file.

For placing a temple, see file:
\data\scenarios\Heir_To_The_Throne\Isle_of_the_Damned.cfg
the code is like this:
{PLACE_IMAGE terrain/temple.png 11 13}

For placing a spider, see file:
\data\scenarios\Heir_To_The_Throne\Plunging_Into_the_Darkness.cfg
the code is like this:
{UNIT (Giant Spider) (Hywyn) ( _ "Hywyn") 2 16 40}

I hope it helps. I did not do any scenarios myself. You probably have to create a non-human-controlled "side" for the Spider... I am not sure how such side in multiplayer will work...

Code: Select all

[side]
	no_leader=yes
	side=4
	controller=ai
	team_name=creature
	[unit]
		type=unit type
		name=name of unit
		x,y=location
	[/unit]
[/side]

That should work.
