December 20th - Santa brings a Map Editor!



Hi everyone, this update begins the roll out of support for user generated content, by adding a map editor tool built into the game. You can use the maps you create instead of randomly generated ones in custom games, and they can also be used in scenarios you create yourself. Please see the new Modding and Scenarios forum board for more details.

User Created Content Support
  • Added a map editor. Available from Options Menu
  • Added ability to load a particular map in a custom game. Can be one of the built in maps, or one created by the player.
  • Added ability to load a user created scenario




Bug Fixes
  • Fixed bug where stacks can incorrectly merge if both were ordered to a hex containing another stack
  • Fixed game settings tab not being available on systems with non supported system language
  • Added back button to game type selection screen
  • Fixed bug with caravansaries not exporting to settlements created before them
  • Stop re-exported goods being exported to their source
  • Improved algorithm for distributing starting positions in custom game


Important:
This is the first release of the map editor, so there are a couple of issues remaining. The editor is currently only in English, and custom maps aren't yet supported for multiplayer. Further updates will follow next year.

Happy Holidays!
