Map editor, hills

Post by Xenomorph »

Hello,
I’ve used other map editors from games (sort of) similar to DCAO. Advanced Tactics Gold and The Operational Art of War, for example. So I’m a bit familiar with how they work. From what I’ve been able to find, creating roads and rivers looks to be similar but I’m just wondering about hills. The scale in DCAO is different from other games. In the other ones you just choose the hills terrain, click the hex where you want them and done. But in DCAO hills are a multi-hex affair. So I’m curious about how difficult it is to create them in this game. Thanks for any help!

Hi,
setting the ground level is very simple:

1) Select the height level

Be careful using the "fill mode" or the Draw "lines" mode.
Remember to save the map often !
