I'm still pretty newb...so no real clue about mapeditor.

As for multiplayer, we tried setting up some over the past few weeks. We ran into some technical brickwalls concerning incompatibility between host and players in "direct ip hosting". I'm taking a few weeks off of trying before dealing with gamespy...which I dislike. So....yes and no. :P

thougth I might add a bit to this. The mapeditor is provided with the game (be sure you have the latest updates for the most current documentation). The mapeditor can edit any map located in the custom directory. Filling terrain is possible from the terrain tab, there is an option for "fill on" there. It will replace all connected terrain pieces of the same type.

For adding units you will need to use the equipment file provided for download and add to it. You can find that from the link Legend provided.
