Especially the first two, as they erase everything you've got on the map and replace that with, in the first case an empty map (no difference in height, only the same green texture all over it, no objects),and in the second case a complete random map (different heights, different textures, objects).''' |
| | 120 | ==== Map settings ==== |
| | 121 | |
| | 122 | '''Map Name''': Enter the name of your map to be displayed in-game. Currently only ASCII characters are available, but that will most likely be changed later so map names can contain other characters as well. |
| | 123 | '''Map Description''': Enter a description of your map. Again, only ASCII characters. |
| | 124 | '''Reveal Map''': This checkbox toggles whether or not the map will be revealed at the start of the game. If checked the map will be seen from the start, if not the player will have to explore to find the enemy, what the map looks like, resources etc. It will turn on/off both Fog-of-War and Shroud-of-Darkness, but if there's interest there may be separate settings for those eventually. |
| | 125 | '''Game Type''': This dropdown lets you select between different game types. Currently there's only '''Conquest''' (where you need to kill/destroy all your enemy's units and buildings) and '''Endless''' which is more suited for sandbox scenarios and requires the player to quit manually. |
| | 126 | '''Number of players''': Allows you to select how many players there will be on this map. Can be anything from one to eight. |
| | 127 | |
| | 128 | ==== Keywords ==== |
| | 129 | '''Demo''': Makes the map show up among the "Demo" games in the game setup. |
| | 130 | '''Hidden''': Hides the map from showing up in the in-game lists of maps. |
