Probably true, but what is a normal map editor? We mostly do games .
What do you miss the most? The ability to draw stuff easily, or the ability to edit the map?

A normal map editor would be where someone could choose the option 'Map Editor' and it opens either a blank map or more preferably a randomly generated map. The gamer should be able to add or delete basic map features such as forest, lake, mountains, swamp, etc., into the map. Then the gamer should be able to setup the borders, province settings and place the capitals. The map then saved and ready to go.
Changing map features, monsters, events, and province independents on the map can be more complicated.

I can honestly say that the BEST map editor I've ever seen was from Heroes_III. Anyone could easily create a map... and master gamers could create their very complex maps if they wanted. The number of tools, settings, monsters and features available were great! Spells and skills could be disabled. Events could be very complex/detailed or very simple.
--IF you get the chance PLEASE just take a look at what they had available. It will provide lots of ideas for you.--
