According to Rick Goodman grass and other various flora will interact with units. We have not heard very much about the plant life that you will be able to place via the editor in Rise and Fall, but what we do know is very intriguing. Players will also be able to access a “Dynamic Flora System” in order to create realistic environments. According to Rick Goodman players will be able to utilize a tool called “Speed Trees” in order to create lush realistic forests in a matter of seconds. What this tool exactly does has not been revealed, but it sounds very intriguing. The colour feature has also been upgraded to include a new glow paint tool. The “colour feature”, as in Empire Earth, will allow players to paint various shades of colour over existing terrains. This is great news for designers as the colour feature was greatly missed when it was not included in the Empires editor. Apparently, the editor will be returning to its roots as the “colour feature” that was present in Empire Earth will make a return. In the question and answer thread here at Rise and Fall Heaven, Hank, a scenario designer for SSSI was kind enough to reveal some new elements about the terrain editor. Until recently information on the terrain editor was fairly scant. To all the potential designers out there, this means one important thing: everything that the developers can do, a scenario designer can accomplish, as the tools will be exactly the same.Īccording to interviews with Rick Goodman and comments made by SSSI staff member Jefro5 a new terrain editor will be available in Rise and Fall. The editor that will debut with Rise and Fall will be the exact same editor that the developers themselves used to construct the campaigns that are set to ship with Rise and Fall. The editor that shipped with Empires: Dawn of the Modern World was a vast improvement over the Empire Earth editor and it looks as if the editor that will ship with Rise and Fall will be an improvement over the one that shipped with Empires: Dawn of the Modern World. What does this mean exactly? This means that the editor will be fairly similar to one found in Empire Earth and Empires: Dawn of the Modern World. The editor that will ship with Rise and Fall is based on the editor that has been featured in the Titan Engine.
