Creating a New Map

In the File menu, select New. You will see the New Scenario dialog.

Use the pull-downs to select the dimensions for your map. The default setting is for square maps. Uncheck the Square Map checkbox to set the height and width to independent values.

The next step is to select a Tileset. The tileset determines which terrain types are available on the map. For example, the Ash World tileset includes rocky ground, craters, and lava floes, while the Jungle World contains grass, trees and ancient ruins.

Finally, you have the option of selecting a Default Terrain. When the map appears, it will be filled with the selected terrain type.

Note:The map dimensions and tileset cannot be changed without creating a new map.
