     10== Map settings ==
    1111'''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.[[BR]]'''Map Description''': Enter a description of your map. Again, only ASCII characters.[[BR]]'''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.[[BR]]'''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.[[BR]]'''Lock Teams:''' If checked the players cannot change their team/alliances in the middle of a game, if unchecked they can. (Though ''not yet as diplomacy isn't implemented'', but if you want to stop players from changing teams in the middle of a game once diplomacy is implemented it's a good idea to check this setting already and it should work once it is implemented.)'''''''''''

    1414'''Demo''': Makes the map show up among the "Demo" games in the game setup.[[BR]]'''Hidden''': Hides the map from showing up in the in-game lists of maps.
