Map building

Hi guys, I want to start making maps, but I'm just confused to hell on what to do. Any tips, ideas, suggestions, or requests?

check this. to get the basics.
Don't worry about your first map, just try to look around and get used to some buttons.
Hold Shift to rotate, H to set height, C to copy objects.
At the beginning of making map create new MP map, set it's size, and after loading press "Scenario - atmosphere properties - fog" and TURN it OFF - this will allow you to see better, and increase the performance.

Yeah, i have spent a long time playing around with World Builder, trying to figure it out, but there's no sort of instructions or anything! I would REALLY love to know how to make territory sectors! It's so stupid that they expect people to just know these things...

Are you so tall or fat that you need a map OF you? :P

Anyway, short, but precise and failsafe tutorial. Good work. Wish that people could search for it on their own and stop asking the same gdm question a thounsand times.

Maybe I will also make a tut where I explain some of the basic functions like creating tiles, splats or splines and also action markers.

Perhaps the reason nobody knew it in part was because there's no tutorials on that section of EF's wiki.

Could be... But i don't know what a "wiki" is... (And your spell-checker doesn't know, either...)
