Preview: Scenario Editor

The game comes with a powerful built-in scenario editor which allows players to create their own custom maps and scenarios. The same tool has been used to create all the official campaigns and scenarios and is directly available from the main menu.

Adding units or other theatres is not something you can do out of the in-game editor though, since this falls under the category of modding - not scenario design.
