What can and can't we do with the editor ?

Methinks version 3.1 with a more robust scenario building tools should have to come out soon.

Mehopes what youthinks.

Here's what else you can't do:

To begin with, starting locations are ALWAYS random. So you can't place the Russians in Russia, for instance. Even if you want to play the game on one of the current maps, you are randomly placed, and there is no way to edit that.

You can't place cities on the map, you can only determine random starting locations!

Only global (wraparound) maps are possible (so you can't have strictly European scenarios).

You can't place units on the map!

All of these were possible using the old Civ II editor, for crying out loud! I am unbelievably disappointed in this editor.

Sigh.

Well, I have to look at what folks found out last night and see what Firaxis plans are. Hopefully, it'll be a patch in the near future.
