Title: Custom Arenas
Post by: Trukk on August 01, 2011, 07:12:11 PM
So I come back to Aces High in hopes that the custom arenas that were announced will be ingame soon as I'd really like to be able to run mini-scenarios, etc, with the guys.  I look at the clipboard and I see "Create Arena", am I missing something or are they here already?

Sweet!  Anyone know where I could find info on how to configure an arena?  It looks like you can create a config (xml?) file for it.

I too could use some helpful info on how to set up for different scenarios.  I've been playing around with it but I'm not having any luck at all.  Is there any available guidelines for arena setups that the CM's use that could prove useful?
