Map design is pretty time intensive when done correctly. Quite a few people get burnt out just on making the map and have no energy left to slog through the rest of the scenario design process.

Hey lads!
I am quite new on this boards, but I play SPMBT mainly for a while :P

I am also interested in scenario design, acutally I have two scens WIP, but I need assistance:
I use only free version of the game, how can I in scenario editor set a reinforcements turn for off-map units like planes or artillery?

Not sure if I remember right but just use the N+P keys to select it, you can do it I have

Works now, thanks! It couldnt be simpler.

Two more questions:
1. How can I set flag value bigger than 249 points?
2. Inspired by Mobhack, I started to work again on my Uganda and Tanzania scenario (Lukaya meeting engagement, march '79). Map is a causeway, so it is VERY narrow. I have unfortunately found that enemy tanks enter the marshes anyway (even if they have a land in from of them) and get stuck really fast. How can I fix it?

1) You cannot set it any higher. (Technically they could go to 255 being bytes).

2)path-finding will look for the least-cost route, and if the causeway is blocked with wrecks, or a traffic jam etc then the marsh might be seen as being less movement cost. Also - look at the waypoint system.

All right, but in some scenarios there are flags worth eg. 1000 points. How did they do this?

By stacking several VP flags in the same hex. Simples.

This i also learned by trail and error on very important objectives,
Edit v-hex locations then stack them, not so obvious as it seems
