The Scouring Editor is LIVE and available for creative use.

[p]We’ve seen incredible community engagement since Demo launch, and we’ve noticed that some players have started to create and share mods for The Scouring Demo. I wanted to make a game that was moddable from the start (this is why our game pack files are not encrypted, for example). It's always a pleasure for me, as a developer, to see what our community can create. Mods are great, and they will no doubt contribute to this game's longevity.[/p][p]Current Features:[/p][p]✅ Map Editor – Design your own battlefields.
Scripting (LUA, AI, Scenarios) – Bring your mechanics to life.
XML Configs – Tweak units, factions, buildings, items, and more.[/p][p]How to Access:[/p][p]🔗 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iQwy2Pf2amKIe4lxRz2Sr-dd9S3qdEsP
