Scenario Design: From the designers

[TheBigRedOne]

I do not believe this is the case.

The map editor 'controversy' comes up every now and then. Some folks really want one, others don't really care. I fall somewhere in the middle. Unless you're making custom scenarios, a map editor really doesn't add a whole lot to the game. As it stands right now, there are only a small number of folks who make scenarios regularly and put them out for public consumption, and most of these guys are the actual game designers, namely Oz, Mike and Joao.

I've never been convinced that it would increase sales, which would be the main reason for HPS to do something from the business end of things, or increase the number of custom scenarios that would come out. Each game's got a lot of unused map space that is quite amenable to custom work, but you never quite see people utilizing it much.
