There is only 99 subformation possible in the editor? So I have to limit myself to that number, am I right?

Is there a way to add new terrain without replacing the existing terrain?

No, you are not only limited to 99 SFTs. I think bombur mod has quite a few more. I don´t remember the exact number of possible SFTs, but its quite alot.

I have a mod in progress with 1900+ SFTs but i think that Vic does not recommend using more than ca 500 (but i have not had any problems with my 1900+ SFTs yet)

Yes, either add new landscape or add a landscape clone and then edit that one.

What are you working on? Sounds interesting....

My mod has about 240 SFT´s...I believe that more than 500 SFT´s will result in troubles with AI scenarios, my experiences with an 1GB system showed that the AI spends a lot of RAM...

I contemplate doing an adaptation of Battle for Armageddon a Games Workshop wargame. But I am very busy so I don't know if I will acheive it.

I have begin to look more into the game system.

I don't understand certain stats (and how to modify them in the editor but that is for later) : Why is there several hit point for the detail combat stats? What is the difference between the att power or def power and the kill% and retreat%.

I am really puzzled about the details combat stats.

There are some resources which might help here:
First try the wiki here: http://www.vrdesigns.nl/atwiki/doku.php?id=subformation_type
Also we discussed this a bit here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2804885&mpage=1&key=&#2805227
and here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2796622

If this does not help please let post here again and we can discuss further.
As to editing: Please be sure to detach the masterfile under settings as discussed here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1610065&mpage=2&key=masterfile%2Cadvanced%2Ctactics%2Cdetach&#1691372.

Have fun modding!
