Cool, will definitely check it out. Curious if this will get the Decision/RPG system that's in DC3?

Downloaded and installed. Got several error messages about Setup/Uninstall failing but if I just ignored them and let the process continue I was able to finish the install and launch the editor.

Thanx. But my Chrome browser prevented me from downloading. It said that it's an unusual download and could harm my computer. I tried it several times. Hope it's not a security issue with your website?

Is there a "Lake" landscape hex in the map editor? I see "Sea" in the list twice but no "Lake" hex.

No lakes. But you can use sea to put lakes on the map of course.

There are no freezing over of lakes rules in CP, hence no lakes. It would just be a double of sea with a different name.

Downloaded the file twice from the link provided at the top of the thread. Both times it comes in at 225,855 kb and, when I try to run it, even if I try to 'Run as Administrator', I get a 'The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program.'

Corrupt file?

AFAICT the file should be 235 MB, or that's what it says when I start the download, but, even though the download 'completes' and doesn't actually cut out or anything, it comes in at less than that ... 225 MB in Opera, 180 MB in Chrome.

And, no, I am not having general download problems or connection problems, I have downloaded several gig worth of .avi files today with no problem AND the latest update for GG's War in the West, also with no problems (installed fine, btw).

It may be that the file is not .rar or it may be that it is corrupt or it may be that there is a problem with Vic's hosting service. Dunno.

Worked finally in IE 11 ... but it stopped 30 seconds from the finish, and I had to manually restart it, something that neither Chrome nor Opera indicated in any way.
