Instructions for map editing

• Firstly, choose the version of graphic detail. We suggest to initially try "mini", as it requires the least bandwidth for the transfer of the textures.
• Secondly, select the dimensions of the new map choosing one of the empty boards available in the map selector.
• Editing a scenario is straightforward, using mouse clicks or touch (for touch-screens).
• Be sure to always include the Blue player and at least one other army colour
• Once you are done editing and satisfied with your new map, click on the "Export map" button (be sure to allow pop-up windows in your browser)
• Copy the contents of the new pop-up window into the text of a new email
• Be sure to add to the email a description of your map, the name you'd like to appear with as author, and what kind of map you are creating: what are the goals, whether it should be "Conquer HQ" or "No Survivors" and any special custom rules the map should use
• Send this email to the address "maps@" as listed in the Contacts page
