I have been through Vic's Simple Scenario Creation a few times. I understand most of it but I have some questions.

In it he says: "Now i will add the towns and cities for this scenario. I do this just as i would paint sea or forest hexes..." He then selects a LocType & then Town. I see there are a number created on the map & I know how to do this but then comes the questions.

What is the difference between Towns & Villages & Cities & Capitols as LocType's?

What is Urban under Landscapes & how does it differ from those above under LocType?

I see there are Fortifications & Fortresses under both Landscapes & LocType. How are they different?

I need to understand the difference in order to know how to use them appropriately.

Sorry to be so dense & I hope no one minds if I keep the questions coming.

Ok, I see: Urban under Landscapes just paints the hex while ascribing a LocType to it gives the hex characteristics useful to the game. For example, a Fortification would have different values & meaning than a Village. Duh! [:D]
