Features
  • Changing parameters of object types in Map Editor. Now in the Main Settings window you can change different parameters of troops and buildings (HP, damage, movement speed, building/hiring cost etc.). Enemy buildings can be set up to spawn (or not to spawn) chosen enemies on selected triggers (on time passed, on player’s forces appearing in a certain radius, on damage received). Changes in the window will affect all objects of the same type on the map;
  • Changing parameters of a selected on a map building in Map Editor. A selected building in Map Editor now has a Change Properties of a Selected Building button that opens a separate window, where you can change some parameters. Additionally, there you can set up enemy buildings to spawn (or not to spawn) troops on selected triggers. Changes made there will not affect other buildings of the same type on the map, but only the changed building! However, custom parameters will be copied too when copying the building (Ctrl+C by default);
  • Messages for in-game events. A new button is added to the left side of the screen in Map Editor, which opens a window where you can set up messages to appear on certain events:
