    Personally, I do a custom tile from the vanilla map which looks approximately right and then make my adjustments to that.
    What do you mean? Don't you use the editor? How can you generate the map.wfc file?

    Well, I've tried the editor with the modded campaign. I've created a map_composite, selected a location and followed the instructions in the file "Using the Total War Battle Editor" from totalwar.com.

    I've used only the part one (the basics), just to test a simple battle.
    I've created two armies, with the corresponding generals, in their deployment areas. I've set the alliances and victory conditions (the most simple ones) and saved the battle.

    From the tutorial it is said that the battle should be playable. But I'm kicked back to menu. The "funny" thing is that in the faction selection menu for the battle it is said that none of the two factions is playable.
    When I open descr_battle this is the result:
    At the beginning everything is normal:
    Code:
    battle		prueba_editor
    playable
    	germans
    	thrace
    end
    nonplayable
    end
    Also the descriptions of the armies seem normal.
    But this appears in the alliances part:
    Code:
    army	germans, 0, no_withdraw, supporting_armies 0, fe_non_playable
    What is fe_non_playable? I've tried to delete it from the file, but the battle kicks me again back to the menu.

    Any idea?

    I don't know what that means

    When I said I used vanilla, I mean I used a battle editor in vanilla to get the map.wfc file.
