Of course you can.
As I said somewhere in the middle of the thread (so I'd better say it again), Ubisoft asked me to wait until january 2008 before releasing the campaigns, and I want to respect that (or I wouldn't have contacted them to get their agreement).
I also wanted to look at the DarkMessiah map made by Marzhin and included in the complete edition, as Nival packaged it with its own .exe file. I didn't have much time to study the technical details yet, but I didn't anything new from it so far. They used a technique that we can reproduce (slightly differently but with the same result), following the ideas developed here. Actually, since you were interested in getting a specific .exe file, maybe you would like to test one? I'll contact you by HCM with more details.

I must have missed that info about January, thanx for reposting that. If I may be of service I'll gladly do some testing.

I'm not sure. I don't find it on single scenarios, so i think i must beat the campaigns first, but i is searching in the data folder after it now.

Yes, it will. And it should be soon (like in the next two days). 
It just requires some optimization and changes, to make it more user-friendly (not the map itself, but the package to install it). The package will be about 57Mb.
@Revolver: yes, it's one map.
@guarder: no, it's not hidden in data.pak. 
If you have the complete edition, on the ToE DVD root folder, you will find a "Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East.zip" file. Unzip its contents in your ToE install folder. This will not replace any file, only add the following:
binDM/*
CustomContentDM/DM.map
music/DM/*
profiles/autoexec_a2_dm.cfg
To play the map, go to binDM/ and lauch H5_Game.exe there. It will start the game immediately, and you won't have access to the main menu. But you can save and load your game. It will use your active profile.
To uninstall it, delete the files I listed above.
Note that if you launch ToE the usual way, it will not see the map and all its data changes, so you're safe.
Alternatively, you can only extract from the zip:
- CustomContentDM/DM.map that you place in Maps/ as DM.h5m
- music/DM/*
Then, you'll see the map as a single mission in your classic ToE. But the various data changes will affect your other games, and it will block multiplayer (unless your opponent has it as well). So you'll have to deactivate it to play other games (which you can easily do with the Mod Manager).

Why does this map use such a weird method of launching?

But how can a custom map ruin the synchronization?

Because the map contains modded elements, the Undead Cyclops for example (using the SnowApe slot in the map). However, in the installer I prepared above, you can choose to install the map as a standard map if you prefer.
Note that Nelgirith packaged the Undead Cyclops as a standalone mod, and it will be in the first creatures pack released with the New Creatures Framework (to be released today or tomorrow).

There are also Necropolis and Academy campaigns, not only Orks... that said you must realize that's nine campaigns that the mod will feature, and testing alone of so many maps does take time... (of course sfidanza may correct me and release the mod tomorrow, you never know )

Can you make a little more info about the all campaigns in TotE, Sfidanza? I can't wait to play these on TotE, and just wondering, will these cutscenes be added to the replay option? I want to see some old scenes more than one time

AFAIK it'll be like it originally was, i.e. the game makes saves before some chosen cutscenes.
