Ahh, those replies are both really helpful, thank you!
I wish you could zoom out a lot more in the Editor. Seems odd that you can’t, especially since you may want to make big macro brush strokes sometimes
Which leads me back to my thread here.. that I think the previewer tool in the lobby map selection area should show you the entire map zoomed out.
One idea I proposed before is to let us hover over the cartoony map tiles to see an enlarged pop-up preview of what the map will actually look like in-game. (For simplicity and speed, it could just be a .JPG or .PNG image that pops up.)
- As an added bonus, would like for that pop-up to cycle through different versions of the map you might see.
- For example, cycle through its various foliage, trees, gaia, sheep/turkeys/buffalo food it might have, season possibilities, etc.
- I don’t like snow maps, so it would let me be forewarned if snow might be in my future.
I guess I’ve been asking for this for years. Found another thread about it. Not sure why my images get deleted:
There are other clever ways of doing a previewer tool, though.
