DEL – When holding down Delete a left click will remove a loaded unit and
then the unit itself.

Y - Hitting Y allows you to then left click the two opposite corners of the area you want to map out. You can then left click to tweak your area and it will reset the closest corner.

Not sure what you mean by toggle the two corners? Does this mean you can make a huge map (on which the entire campaign will run) and then toggle a smaller map for specific scenarios? or is it just to work on that part of the map for terrain features?

That was posted by Pip in the 1.3.10 thread sticky. I don't quite understand it but probably won't use it.

I got numpad 7 and 9 to rotate the map also.

Edited for that. On my keyboard 7 and 9 are home and pgup but your comment is more correct.

Do I sense a bit of humor there?

You have to see it to believe it ....

Quick start ...

- In the Editor now .... Hit the "Y" key
- Move the cursor over a tile, left click
- Move the mouse over another tile (should see green hi-light expand), click the left mouse button to set
- Goto MAP RESIZE BUTTON (lower left.. + button) ... open the menu ... should see new dimension values
- Select the RESIZE CURRENT MAP Button ... will ask (you sure) ... yup ....
- Viola!


EDIT : MAX MAP SIZE is still 64x64 if your selection was bigger
