Map Creation and Editing

How do you delete roads and units on the map that you don't want on there? I can't seem to locate a delete button on the scenario editor...

thanks!

Can't seem to make it work -- even using shift-f10. lots of stray crap I need to remove.

I mouse over it, left click, then right click-- nothing. Stuff is still there. grrr!

Thanks for the previous quick response!

If you want to delete an Unit, you have to select Units :

If you want to delete a road, you have to select a Road (Paved or Dirt) :

Thanks!
So the secret to deleting roads is you have to put your cursor on the border connecting the hexes that the road connects! the road is on two hexes and connects them via the common edge- you gotta be on the edge between the two connected hexes, hit right click, then it goes away.

just so anybody in the future has the same problem.

thanks for the entertaining pictures...

You may have missed what terminator was trying to say. You must have the item in focus in the menu bar in order to erase it by right-clicking.
