Copy entire terrains/landscape from one map to another.

[Unregret]

I just want to ask if this is possible or not. In case i want to keep all contents of one map, start making terrains on another map then copy/paste it all over by switching windows between maps. This should save much more time-consuming, especially in creating campaign.

surely you can do that, look for w3x file description and reimport files standing for landscape between maps

Using any program that can open MPQs, export the war3map.w3e (the environment) and war3map.doo (doodad placement) files and insert them into your second map.
For more information on these files, refer to this.

I dont receive any note, so it's user-dependant.

For the terrain (not destructables and doodads) one can modify the W3E file directly using a third party library. I wrote such a library for JAVA which allows modification at a terrain node level. This requires understanding of programming to do sensible modifications.

Sadly, i don't know how to do it.

I got better solution. Maybe i am just make a copy of the original map and then edit terrain right into it. Can i remove entire terrain in the map to something like a "new map" but still keep all other data inside?

One can move the entire mesh file to another map and it will work as long as it is consistent with other files such as the shadow map and pathing map files.
