Map done, no issues. Saved in slot 500.

This is the issue for me? What scenario editor? Where's the link on the Utilities tab to get to this? Sorry, but Im completely missing this. The HTML help docs don't tell me where this troop purchasingis. |
The Scenario Editor comes as a choice under the game main screen. See the large button entitled "
EDIT" and try hovering your mouse over that and looking at the information in the hint line at the top of the screen where it says "Build, Edit and Save custom scenarios"....
It really is a good idea to read the Game Guide (AKA "Manual") to find out about the game!
- See the Section entitled "
Main Game Screen", and the box describing the buttons available. Press the Link on the
Left Hand Side of the display marked "Main Game Screen" to get to this section.
- Either press the blued link in that box marked
Editor or the LHS link marked "Scenario Editor"...

That's strange, since the scenario Editor section has this text in it, near the top of the sub-section marked "
Scenario troop deployment and editing" (in bold too)...
Quote:
Purchase is as for normal battles, but points are unlimited, as the troops on the table are what you decide
Deployment is basically similar to normal battle deployment with loads of extra features added on
Placement of troops is pretty much standard, it is the editing that differs
|
So
A) Purchasing is much the same as in regular games, which you will already have played before jumping into scenario design. Try reading the section of the Game Guide entitled "
Purchase Screen", if not familiar with that process.
B) Deployment/placement Is basically the same as you are used to from playing a standard game. If not familiar, then read the GG section "
Deploying Units". Also see the box with the extra deployment screen features available to you described in the Scenario Editor help section.
C) Eventually, you may want to try waypoints in your scenario design. For experienced designers only - see the GG section entitled "Waypoints".
If you have not played any normal battles, then do so to gain familiarity with purchasing and placement etc.
Main Menu Screen -> Battle Button -> etc (see the GG link "
Playing a Single Battle" for help)
