Scenario/Campaign Editors

The Empire Earth Scenario and Campaign Editors are versatile and robust tools for creating
original maps, scenarios, and campaigns.  Both give you maximum control over your cre-
ations without sacrificing ease of use.  The Scenario Editor allows you to create Empire Earth
maps and specify explicit goals which the player(s) must accomplish to win.  The Campaign
Editor lets you tie scenarios together into an integrated campaign.  This chapter provides an
overview of these editors; a complete manual can be found on your Empire Earth CD-ROM.

The Empire Earth Scenario Editor was designed from the ground up to be the best RTS
scenario editor ever.  It provides all the tools you need to create original game scenarios that
are as simple or as complex as you wish to make them.  You can build your own Empire Earth
maps, add event triggers such as victory conditions, set game and player starting conditions,
and include instructions and other messages.  You can even create and direct your own in-
game movies or cinematics.

Though the options available to you in the Scenario Editor are vast, learning the basics is real-
ly quite simple.  The following sections in this chapter provide an overview of all the things
you can do with the Scenario Editor.  (A complete manual for the Scenario Editor is provided
on your Empire Earth CD-ROM.)  With a little practice, you’ll be ready to create just about
any game situation you can imagine.
