Since the launch of Map Editor, over 200 custom maps have appeared in Workshop! Now, with the addition of units’ and buildings’ characteristics override feature you can do even more and have more tools to set up your maps as you see fit. Though, all those settings must be confusing…

To make it a bit easier, we’ve compiled a guide to Map Editor — it should help you to utilise all its features more effectively and create even crazier stories and challenges!

Improvements

• Enemy buildings of different size now have different destruction sounds;
  
• Custom values for Max. Attack Range and Target Search Range are now limited in Map Editor due to performance issues;
  
• Steam Cloud file limit for Map Editor is increased from 100 to 10K (this will deal with k_EResultLimitExceeded error when publishing your maps).
  

Bug Fixes

• (Map Editor) Bug with parameters changed for Walls in Object Modification window not being applied to corner Walls;
  
• (Map Editor) Bug with parameters changed for a certain Wall piece not being applied to some of its copies;
