I'm currently setting up some scenarios and OOB. My first goal would be to create the SHILOH battle but I can't seem to find out how to add ironclads to the OOB.
I think, now that maps can be create, that this should open a whole new prospect for this game.

Hi UnionWarDog, Zakblood, or anyone else who knows--
Wondering if anything has transpired here or if anyone can share how to edit or make a new map.
I just bought the game with the Holiday sale and after some graphics mods actually like the game a lot--enough to maybe make a few small map engagements.
However, since there is no map creator/editor--I'm assuming that map creation is based on some form of hex-editing? not sure however what to do (load it)or how to interpret the map *.gbmap files, as there are LOTs of zeros and then I see areas of the file where there are numbers. Not sure what those reflect as far as terrain-?
Any help here would be appreciated and if I do map a map, I'd post it up for all to use/enjoy.
I've done some text editing on the scenario files, but really want to make a map of Pea Ridge or some of the smaller battles to try.
Best Wishes,
BigBog
