My beginner question

[Skanvak]

There is only 99 subformation possible in the editor? So I have to limit myself to that number, am I right?

Is there a way to add new terrain without replacing the existing terrain?

[ernieschwitz]

No, you are not only limited to 99 SFTs. I think bombur mod has quite a few more. I don´t remember the exact number of possible SFTs, but its quite alot.

I have a mod in progress with 1900+ SFTs but i think that Vic does not recommend using more than ca 500 (but i have not had any problems with my 1900+ SFTs yet)

[Skanvak]

Thank you very much.

And the terrain? I need ash waste and hive city.

[Grymme]

Yes, either add new landscape or add a landscape clone and then edit that one.

What are you working on? Sounds interesting....

[Bombur]

My mod has about 240 SFT´s...I believe that more than 500 SFT´s will result in troubles with AI scenarios, my experiences with an 1GB system showed that the AI spends a lot of RAM...

What are you working on? Sounds interesting....

I contemplate doing an adaptation of Battle for Armageddon a Games Workshop wargame. But I am very busy so I don't know if I will acheive it.

[Skanvak]

I have begin to look more into the game system.

I don't understand certain stats (and how to modify them in the editor but that is for later) : Why is there several hit point for the detail combat stats? What is the difference between the att power or def power and the kill% and retreat%.

I am really puzzled about the details combat stats.
