+This is a placeholder page.
-Here we will cover:
+It will eventually detail the basics of map editing, such as where to get [[Sandbox 2]], how to load MWLL's assets & pre-fabricated assets (prefabs) into the editor and ways of creating terrain. Some tips & tricks will be mentioned.
-- tools and operations
+* '''''Save your map often and create backups!''''' This is '''critical''' in case your working version becomes corrupted.
-- endorsed art and alien art
+* Plan your maps before you actually begin making them. Have a good idea of how the map will ''flow'', that is, how players are likely to interact with the terrain, buildings and/or capture zones you intend to place. You may want to run your draft map/terrain past other players to help refine your design.
-- setup and usage
+AncientDemise's 3h mapping stream will be linked [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yJzhQj42LE&feature=youtu.be here].
