Did you download the last TE Manual from the Beta Forum before it vanished?
If not, I'll see what we can do.
Easy in-game again.

Thanks!  This may be a silly question, but where do I download the terrain editor from.  Is it the link on the home page, from 2012?

Nope, it's part of the initial AH3 game installation and is on your harddrive when you install the game.

There's only one problem. Patch 15 broke the TE so we all need to wait until the next patch fix it.


Advice:
Start with a small practice terrain before you try that monster creation you expect everyone to love,
and,
never upload a terrain to the server until you are sure it is one you'll finish for an arena,
and,
the name you use should be the final name because even Skuzzy can't remove a terrain once you upload it without a huge amount of work.

I forgot, the TE is named ahedit.exe in your game folder.

Yes, thanks, saw the editor in the folder, and yes, it crashes when I try to start it.

I was going to start small, just create an island with 6 bases, and try to learn what I can from that.
