GalCiv2 Map Editor

from GalCiv2 Forums

Can anyone give me a heads up on where I can get information on the map editor that comes with Twilight of the Arnor.  I have been experimenting with it.  I have a fair idea how to use it.  I have several questions:

1)My main question is how do I put it in the game?  How do I use the finished map? 

2)I saw no place to choose game otions such as minor races, victory conditions, etc.

3)Does the "tile offset" when editing a planet refer to bonus tiles?  Is there a way to place the bonus tiles of your choice on certain planets?

4)When choosing opponents, can I go over the limit in the game menu?

 

Thanks in advance.

1) Most probably, a finished working map should load from the regular 'C:\Docu...\MyGames\...\CustomMaps' folder. Use as in Play with it? As long as starting locations are defined for any Major races possible, just click and select along while using it by its name in the provided setup field.

2) This process isn't a scenario, it's a simple map context. The game settings still perform as the main conditions by choice rather than the map itself.

3) Nope, that's some vertical gap ratios that randomizes textures on the 12 tiles width through steps. No.

4) I presume you mean the usual maximum of NINE opponents. Then, the answer would be no, sadly.
