Will there ever be a map editor for the Ipad
The map editor is for the pc, and I believ you would have to purchase a seperate copy of battle academy for the pc to get access of the map editor...............as an ipad player is there any plans for a map editor for the ipad or is there just a map editor available that we can use our login details to get into.

Re: Will there ever be a map editor for the Ipad
There are many issues with the map editor on the iPad. Amongst other things, the UI relies very heavily on keys, and is very cramped for finger use. Then there is the issue of how to get maps on and off of the iPad itself. For these reasons we are not planning to enable the editor on iPad at this time. Sorry

Could you not make just the editor available for pc, that we can use our login to access, it doesn't seem fair that we discovered the delights of battle academy through the ipad, but we would have to fork out for the game again for the pc to get access to the editor..........surely just an editor, even a online based editor for pc, and you use your login details.......the login details have to be registered to the game licence anyway........for those of us who have bought the game and scenarios we have paid as much as the pc version.

Unfortunately the editor would be pretty useless without the game to test things, etc. And we aren't allowed to link other products to iOS apps even if we wanted to.

Could we not get a discount on the pc version if we've purchased the iOS version. I know I'm being a pain, but paid for iOS and add ons but now want to make scenarios.

Unfortunately it is against Apple's rules. We also don't have a system which enables it.
