1. I make a scenario,but can't find scenario files in scn folder,but I can still play it,even if I uninstall and reinstall the game.

If you happen to be using the dreaded Vista - this stores files in weird places apparently (I do not have it, and will be waiting for release of Windows 7 probably). Something to do with exactly how you set up your user account and privileges?.

Otherwise - have you looked in the \Scenarios folder - not \Scn?.

2. I can't find the ''thick ice'' terrain type.(I think this is a SPWW2 type question,I haven't seen this type in SPMBT)

Thick ice is in both games. You need a map that generates ice maps in winter, Russia in January should do.

Go into the designer, set Russia as both sides, set month to January and map type to winter. Generate a random map - then enter the editor, all streams should be frozen, and the "thick ice" icon should be available for editing. Then either save the map, or now change sides to the 2 you want.

In any case - you should always make the map first, and save it off into a file, so you can always get at a copy unpolluted by troops, V-hexes etc.


Rats - just tried this. It works fine for random ice lakes, but using the frozen lake key in the map editor is giving a buggy result. Something needs fixing in the manual edit.

3. Will there be a stone wall terrain type out soon?

No, all bits in the terrain bitmap are use.

4. will there be more railroad track types?when placing railroads,it sometimes uses a vertical track piece were a curved track will fit nicely.
No - all railway track types are as shown.
