I am a little confused about the GENERATE TILES in the tools menu. When I hit this the graphics seem improved, but my roads look like they disapear?

You need to draw roads and rivers in Terrain Features layer. Then, when invoking Generate Tiles, they will be incorporated into tiles.

Hmm, it looks like there really needs to be a hot-key then for Generating Tiles. I have to keep doing this through the menu just to see what I drew on the map. Maybe I'm drawing wrong.

Hot key is already implemented (will be in the next update).

Is it safe to assume the final version of the editor will come with full documentation? As I am learning the shortcuts, making scenarios gets easier and easier, but it would be nice to have a definitive list of all the quick keys and such.

Final version will of course include enough documentation to use the editor effectively.

One other thing. As I understand the arrow keys are not used in the editor? It would be nice to use them for scrolling if that hasn't been added either.
