You know you enter a region of the map and suddenly a new map loads
all hero stats stay , and when you return to that old maps , you are there were you were and there is no opening cinematic
how to do this?

There is more than one process and system that occurs in these maps. First you need to learn about campaigns, then you need to learn about saving unit cache in a map, then loading a map and also loading the saved cache. To stop a cinematic from running again you should use integer variables and conditions that check the integer variables.
E.g.
Event - Elapse game time 0.01
Conditions - CinematicInteger not equal to 1
Actions -
Turn cinematic mode on
(etc)
(etc)
(etc)
set Cinematic Integer = 1

Game cache is a whole system that you need to learn about.
Here is a great tutorial on game caching and map transitions.

can't you just do load next map and set it to the specific file? (if it's not in the normal w.e. dl WEU)

Burninspartan, yes you can, but none of the hero stats or anything will carry on unless you save them using cache, then you must reload the values from the cache in the new map.
