Sorry this took me so long - work's being a b****. Otherwise it would have taken me literally 15 mins 
Anyways, [url=https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6DjoGC9WY04bF9hcDFKTXhzN2s/view?usp=sharing]here[/url] ya go!
I couldn't use the exact naming convention you gave, since sequences can't have spaces in the name, but I just took out the space and capitalized the first letter in each word (e.g. OldSkeleton)
edit: Just realized that for testing purposes I had removed the max trigger count for debugging purposes - so you'll probably just want to make the max trigger for "Hero visits shell" 1.

"I think the campaign maps are packaged to reduce space and as a result are locked (or "cooked" in Unreal jargon), unfortunately.
But I'll check with the level design team if they can share some examples of how some things were done, maybe release one of the campaign map as an example."
It would be very nice if we could open the multiplayermaps and tweak them a bit.
Is there anyone who knows ho to open them?

Closest thing I've found to opening the map is to import the map as a package into the UDK..., but even then you don't get to see the map itself, but just a list of all the map components.
You can't really edit them afaik either, since the copy/replace trick that works on other cooked packages, doesn't really work when you can't load the full content in the editor to begin with.

Ravel, you are resourceful! Have you noticed the artifact merchant is crap?
Can you fix it? It should give one relic 2 majors 2 minors 1 scroll each week. If you are up to the task just tell me I have a little more info on this.

So, I messed around with this a bit more today..., the best way to go about this would probably be to find a way to modify the "Item Pool Override" list on an artifact merchant/black market/etc. The trick is getting a new list of random items each week and feeding them in - the most direct way I would think to do this would be to randomly generate the artifacts from an object list and modify the Item Pool Override.., but unfortunately the value and property you want to modify must be hard-coded.
Using this scenario, at best you could set up a large number of hardcoded artifact merchant possibilities and randomly assign one of those, but it wouldn't be a truly random system.

Ravel, how about using your script for random artifacts. Can you call it at the start of each week with six new integers- one for each artifact slot?
Only problem maybe is that new integers can`t be assigned dynamically and are fixed? This is how the game works in singleplayer anyway. I am fine with this - I can create integers for 10 weeks and put time limit on the map. Nobody plays a TOH map for 10 weeks lol but anyways
@Salamandre, I prefer quality and only yesterday found the trick to make the editor save my maps. Moreover I need to fix the (game)artifact merchant crap first(it gives 6 random artifacts and I had like 3 relics or 6 scrolls).I saw in one thread that you spend 800 hours for your maps and at that time while I was making my Heroes VI map i was getting somewhere there too. Until is polished, balanced no map will be out. I don`t create unfinished products

Well, I can modify it from inside a script using Modify Property, but here's the problem i'm running into:
[url=http://i.imgur.com/dOXtkZf.png]Screenshot[/url]
So, what this does is sets the artifact override list from inside a script and sets the artifact merchant to use that override. The problem, however, is that the properties fields must be entered manually when writing the script, rather than fed into the Modify Property action as a String or something.
This is the problem that I ran into when I requested over [url=http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=41814]here[/url] that an action be added to dynamically modify a property.
edit: So, in theory what you could do is hard-code ~50 modify properties, hook them all up to a random switch and have that switch fire every week to randomly select one of 50 preset artifact lists

so without dynamic modify property we are stuck at square one.
edit: this is unsatisfactory - e.g I don`t want always when mask of the shadowsmith appear, elven boots appear etc. Preset lists suck. We will have to generate 1000 to be truly random.

Found a super situational bug:
When using the Manipulate Town Building Kismet action to build buildings, it still checks if the player has enough resources to build it. If they don't, then it won't build the building.
The expected behavior for such a function, imo, should be to build it regardless of prerequisites or player resources.
Funnily enough it doesn't check for building prerequisites or that the town level be high enough.

Hero visits shell
It doesn't save the shell value but works anyway. No shell value in kismet either
EDIT:
It works now..just after I spent 4 hours dealing with it the old way.
I have a strange square in the middle of my map and I can`t remove it and no it is not there only in the editor.
Also If I repaint some of textures close to the square this happens
 .
Any ideas?

Mapmaker shouldn't forget to build the light and publish the map from editor to the game before sharing it.

Nope. Only bridges from neutral bulding list is walkable.
like here: https://monosnap.com/file/ZP3JWkkbdOkqdJ1wUIJaNXijwYl5yd
Also Foliage tool doesn't work for me anymore (only one first tree added to the brush could be placed to the map)
Also editor crash on autosave... And it takes 10 minutes to open it.. ugh.. I tired of it
