1. DESCRIPTION
Warcraft II players should know this after running the program. It's an editor
for battlecraft (a god-game, like warcraft and populous). A non-official
version of the game is released on my homepage. This editor can now be installed
in the same directory as the game and this way share files like graphics and
sound.
I've already drawn a landscape and added some puds to try out. Thats right! you
can convert/view warcraft II levels (128*128 only) Also most map options (like
starting conditions and map description) are supported.
2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
None.. except for the AMIGA of course :)
3. MAPS WANTED
The editor supports multiple map names which enables you to load and save
different landscapes! Because of this you can finally create your own maps. Why
not share these maps with rest of the world by sending them to me so i can put
them on my page? I might even decide to use them in the game if they're good
enough! :)
4. SHAREWARE
This program is shareware and part of Battlecraft. Read the documentation
included in the game for more info about registering. You can contact me on

5. INSTRUCTIONS

F10 - menu (load, save, clear map and quit)
arrowkeys - scroll on map (or use the mini-map)
<BUTTONS>
-----------

X-button - to delete peasants and buildings

<SHELL>
-----------

6. FUTURE PLANS
The next version of the editor will make drawing maps a lot more simple.
This because it will be smart (like War2 editor). Because of this the
interface will change quite a lot, so don't get to used to this one :)
