I'm so sorry, but I can't speak any German but reading is not that bad.. Though can I ask my question in English because i'm kind of desperate here >.<...

I've bought the game like yesterday (And I know i'm late xD). But I would love to give this editor a full shot.

Now I read in the manual the following:
"Edit menu offers the following functions:"
"Map settings... Allows you to adjust global settings which affect the entire map (for example the player settings for multiplayer and campaigns)."

I just love that option but it is nowhere to be found in the editor dropdown menu! Where the heck is it? The same goes for the triggers menu in one of the dropdowns...

Who knows?

Hi,

The manual was written before the editor was made final and ready for release. The editor does not allow you to create true Campaign maps.

Because the logic programming system used to create a Single player Campaign map with actual missions is rather too complex to expect players to learn it, the editor only allows Multiplayer levels to be edited. (Of course you can create Single-player maps for "Sandbox mode" city-building gameplay ... but you'll play it without missions, setting the "Win condition" manually in the game setup dialog within the game. The script language needed to define missions for the campaign, even simple ones such as "Store 100 bread", was deemed much too complex to release to the end user... and that's not even mentioning AI settings needed for the campaign etc.)

The description in the manual refers to a menu entry from the internal editor which was removed from the editor for release.

Multiplayer settings are defined in the game's Multiplayer menu (i.e. which people starts where), Campaign Settings are n/a because the editor does not offer campaign map creation, so the only global setting that is needed there is the "Water type" (Wassertyp)... and that's in the menu.

Sorry if the outdated translation confused you.
