Hi Bmorgan077
Good questions and it's great to hear you're enjoying the Editor. [:)]

1. Is there any way to make changes global? IE. if I want to change something for all nations
can I or do I have to do every nation separate?
I'm afraid that you'll have to apply them to all separately.

2. Can I update an edited game to the latest version of scripts and map changes? Or apply
my changes to the updated game? IE. in my edited game (1.04)the Italians still show up in NA,
and the Pryete (spelling) marsh road is still there.
Or do I have to take the latest version and reedit at each update?
It really depends what you've changed in your own edited game.
For instance, if it's just that you've added/amended a few scripts, you could always recreate your campaign by saving the latest version of the official campaign with a new name, and changing those scripts in it.
Alternatively, if you've not amended your campaign's map since creating your own, you could always use the Export/Import feature to export relevant layers of detail from an official campaign to import it into yours.
You can then import as many or as few aspects of the official campaign as you desire into yours. However, each aspect is all encompassing, e.g. if you choose to import the Resource data, it will change ALL resources in your campaign to match the official campaign. The same applies to everything else.
If you've made lots and lots of changes in all kinds of areas, then you could possibly selectively import some layers, and then manually change other areas.

3. In the editor is there a total number column? IE. to simulate German's cottage industry
I raised town and settlement values and lowered the city value but could not tell how much
the total MPPs changed.
The only way to tell this is to play a turn and see what difference it might have made.
I agree that having some statistical information on the MPPs produced by each country would be useful for design.

4. When you make a unit value change, can you apply it to units on the map without going to
each unit and changing its properties?
Yes, the only units that you would need to remove from the map and replace after changing their properties are:
Any in Transports or Amphibious Transports.
HQs if amending their command rating.
All others are automatically updated with the new stats.
Note that benefits from Automatic Research categories won't show in the Editor, but they will show in game.
I hope this helps with the questions. Thanks also for your other comments. The Editor is significantly better than it used to be, and maybe it will get better yet with time. [:)]
Bill
