Hi i would like to start off with a few simple questions !
1) How do i "set up" the players(ie, tech level, starting age etc) ? according to the FAQ, there's a "PLAYERS MENU" which has "SETUP PLAYERS" but i can't find the PLAYERS MENU anywhere on the editor !! My editor version is the New Editor for AOM.
2) How do i view the unit stats (eg hp, attack etc)WITHIN the editor ?
3) How do i place sections of walls that are always 90 degrees to each other ?
PLEASE DO REPLY ASAP. YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED !!

Thank you very much for your swift replies ! Is the "modify protounit" command found ONLY in the TITANS exapansion ? I can't seem to find that in AOM.
A few more questions to consult you all :
1) How do i make a unit "slippery" (ie, for a period of time, when i select the unit, it will automatically be UN-selected, such that i cannot give orders to the unit even though it still belongs to me) This is so that the player can't move the unit when a dialouge is taking place ?
2) How do i make a food counter? (ie, food decreases by 1 every x seconds and when food reaches 0, player is defeated)

hi thanks for the advice for the food trigger. But everytime i tribute 1 food to gaia, a chat message will appear. How do i block that chat message? If i use "turn chat status off", then i won't be allowed to use any more chats for my player. what should i do ?

oh actually what i meant was becoz i am creating a campaign, so i need a lot "extra players" to be gaia and different colour coding etc.
1) I tried to reduce the map size but that seem to work only for BLANK maps and not other maps (eg, erebus etc)Any idea how i can get 10 different colours(ie, players) while getting a small map that is not blank ?
2) I noticed that there is a "disable trigger" in the effect menu. What about the "enable trigger" ? where is it found?

I don't think it takes 13 minutes to figure out what trigger effect sets techs.

oh thanks for the advice. I have deigned relatively complicated scenarios for Age of Kings, Age of Empires, Starcraft etc in the past so I do have a few new concepts of creating a campaign. It's just that i'm still new to the editor of AOM. haha i will try and read up more. where are the best guides around ? Thanks for all the help !!

Thank you very much for your encouragment !! I do not have the titans expansion, so is it still possible for me to use the titans editor and enjoy the many new functions?
