Since this seems to be the thread to ask about the map editor...

Is it possible to at some point, be able to 'paint' smoke and fires onto the map in the editor?

Right now, if you want smoke and fires, AFAIK, you can do it by:

1.) Building your map.

2.) Loading a "blank" scenario using that map with nothing but artillery units firing smoke and / or flame units near places that you want to set on fire.

3.) Start scenario and let artillery fire smoke, and manually Z-Fire the flame units onto the target hexes.

4.) Save the game.

5.) Load the saved game file in the Map editor; and work with the smoke/flame on the map.

This is a bit clunky vs 'painting' it in the editor, but eh.
