Map Editor Questions

Post by ichirou989 »

I have a few questions regarding using the map editor. The first two regard hexside terrain. How do you create rivers and borders on the hexsides? Not seeing any info on how that's done. Also, am I right in assuming that the transit route marks should not be moved or removed, or is it possible to do that also? Thanks in advance for any help on this...been having a ton of fun with the game but wanted to try out some scenario ideas.

You hold down 7, 8 or 9 while you left click (borders) or right click (rivers). 7 is NW of hex, 8 is N of hex and 9 is NE of hex.

Bless you sir for that info; I immediately added that to my manual. :) I was beginning to despair that I would have to edit the map file directly which would have been much more difficult. Any info on altering the transit hexes? I don't actually need to do that currently, but it might be good to know if it's possible for future reference.

Is this not in the manual that comes with the editor?

Yes it is. You have to read the Quick Guide part to see this hint.
