Fighting a wasp might result in a big battle - some might call it a hard slog... You shpuld have enough time to watch the sting of the wasp before it starts to prick holes in your defense, but be prepared!

Thanks to @D0m0nik for mentioning the 'editing overlay' in the thread "Custom Map #4774: Andromeda's campaign day 21 - Earth part2 (British isles). By: KIKI443"
I had to try but it's still pretty toilsome! Probably that'll never get my favorite way of editing maps.

Greetings from The Shire!

Edit: I seem to be a pretty average player ;)

Hey Bilbo. It was a very good map, i thouroughly enjoyed it!

You should look up Willbirs good for turning a PNG image into terrain, save you A LOT of time. Stdout also uses it but ask either of them, sounds easy to use, just attached the code to a core I think (I have no idea what I am talking about when it comes to coding by the way!!!)

Spoiler

Did you knwo you can land two CNs together on the left and collect a bertha and take out the spore straight away?

Indeed. I use a changed version of this Script for Particle Fleet Maps. [also nice to watch the land being generated ;)]

Image_js.zip is the Script

Instructions

1 - If you have an Image for use you have to set the Name of the Image into the Script. In the 6th Line. Line Should end with -> src="ImageName.png" />
     Replace ImageName with the name of the image. That is all you have to change. You can set the image size with the first Part of the Script.
2 - RightClick on the Script and open with Internet Explorer.
3 - Maybe you have to allow Blocked Content.
4 - Copy all of the Text.
5 - Make a New Script and Copy the Text.
6 - Go into the Editor, make a CPRL Core and add the Script to the Core.
7 - Unpause.

Good Luck :)

Hey,
Thanks for the script, painting with the editor was really a pain in the lower part of my back. Just for fun, I attach the original pictures I used. I haven't looked at the script right now, will I have to resize the image before I use the script or can I put a i.e. 3000x2000 px and the script resizes it?

And, D0m0nik, thanks for your kind reply, and no - everytime I try to take out the spores, I loose the nullifier while it fires - however, when the map offers shortcuts for excellent players, it's ok - a full set of AoO and an inhibitor is bad, what you have found - great!

I think you can use a big Image, the Script has a Height and Width variable.
Let this great Script help with the Drawing ;)
