Is there a primer on how to use the Editor?

There is no peace among the stars: the Imperium of Man is beset on all sides by all kinds of threats. Among them is the Orks, a barbaric and warlike xeno race. One of their fiercest leaders, Grukk Face-Rippa, leads his Red Waaagh! in the Sanctus Reach system...

I have started to play with the editor, but the manual does not walk you through making a map, much less creating an entire scenario. Is there any plans for that?

It is on the todo list, but the editor is so powerful that it's not a simple task to document all its features. The simplest starting point I can suggest is:

- Generate a random map using the Random Map plugin.
- Place your and the enemy units as desired.
- Use the Victory Point plugin to set up victory conditions.

You can of course use custom scripting to do, well, pretty much anything - but that is considerably more work :)
