Let's get to work: MP maps

Has anyone tried the pyramid-map-thingy in MP?

Just to confirm that it works so we could proceed to do real MP maps.

Re: Historical battles

I really don't understand this editor tool at all. I can edit a map ok [ still preferred the previous editor tools though ] but when it comes to picking armies and units, it will not work. Why are some of my editor toggles greyed out? All I seem able to do is edit a battle description and choose a home faction.
Anyone got this working?

You can create an army, can't you? First make the army, select it from the factions tree and you can make the army's deployment zone (The depl. zone button get colored). Once you have placed it you can place the units (units bttn get coloured), assuming you have still the army selected.

Still dunno so much about the unit placement bit, I have accidentally wiped out entire armies. The editor is sometimes a bit awkward.

And if you find a way to add a working fort...

That is just my point. I do not appear to be able to create an army, I cannot select units etc. Neither am I able to set deployment zones, this editor toggle is greyed out.
I still can't understand why CA could not at least add a Read Me to explain their overly complicated 'improved' editor.

Maybe someone from CA could explain it??

That's strange. Umm.. You CAN get to the "edit army details" screen? If you can't, well, then I don't know anything, but if you can, you have to select a name for the army's general, otherwise you can't click on the ok sign.

That one kept me thinking for a while (or at least, so long that I tried the name bax). I completely forgot that while struggling with the fort problem. Hope this helps.
