The editor allows users to create their own maps and scenarios for Empire Deluxe™.  This is done by using the menu system along with the paint box along the right hand side of the screen.

    The paint box is divided into three sections, brush, terrain and forces.

    The brush buttons allow painting of a single location or a set of 9 locations. Holding the option key down while clicking or dragging on the map erases the selected locations to sea. Holding the shift key down, or double-clicking on a location displays information about a selected location

    The terrain buttons allow painting of various terrain on the map.  Select the desired terrain type, and then use the mouse to paint on the map.

    The forces buttons allow selection of unit types to paint on the map.

    The six player buttons allows selection of the owning player to paint with.

    The "Game Menus" help topic describes several menu items useful when editing.
