Editor improvement (sorry)

Post by Skanvak »

What are the plan to make the editor able to create limited scenario?

I mean the following possibility :

_ No economic phase but fixed reinforcement.
_ Possibility to block access to certain provinces (actually limited paly to some area).
_ Possibility to activate some MP only (inactive MP will have their territory open to free conquest)

I have seen that the editor offer to chose the map for the scenario. Actually how can you create a new map? (I expect a "cannot" answer, just checking)

Best regards

No plans to implement as of today.

We have discussed doing this one and while we do have it as an item of interest, I could not tell you today when or if.

I CANNOT (;-) give the map making ability in this editor. The area development would simply take too long since this is not a linear hex grid BUT involves way more complex adjacent area settings. We are going to add more and more base maps (Classic EiA, possible New World, etc) so that you guys can select the base maps for your own scenarios.




Thank you

Possibility to change an area from playable to unplayable will allow us with a simple way to make "new" map and allow for limited scenario (which could be good for tutorial).

May you can add limited area map based on the actual map?

Best regards

Haven't really looked into this so I cannot speak to it yet. I can look at this in a few versions.
