DESCRIPTION Warcraft II players should know this after running the program. It's an editor for battlecraft (a god-game, like warcraft and populous). The game itself is not released yet (more info later) but the editor will give a good impression how it will/could look like. I've already drawn a landscape and added some puds to try out. Thats right! you can convert/view warcraft II levels (128*128 only) Also most map options (like starting conditions and map description) are supported. 2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS None.. except for the AMIGA of course :) 3. MAPS WANTED The editor supports multiple map names which enables you to load and save different landscapes! Because of this you can finally create your own maps. Why not share these maps with rest of the world by sending them to me so i can put them on my page? I might even decide to use them in the game if they're good enough! :) 4. MAILWARE This program is mailware. If you like this and would like me to do some extra work on this, then send your mail to: Snailmail : Peter de Boer Avegaarstraat 12 1825 LB Alkmaar Holland E-Mail : Peterdb@cybercomm.nl WWW-Page : www.cybercomm.nl/~peterdb/rav_ami.html 5.
