Cloth map looks sexier. Forests look straight out of a fantasy treasure map.

Brad, do you seriously think you have any pull there at Stardock?

That would be great!!!!

If this happens, I would like to offer some ideas on UI. The Quest system is very complex and needs to allow for many many objectives. I think I can offer a helpful perspective on this if it gets the green light.

Yes, I am interested in an in-game quest editor. Very interested.

 the more we can do from the workshop the closer people can come to making their perfect game without relying on modders to do everything (& hope that they're willing to make what you want), and would keep each person from having to learn all the modding tricks to obtain what they desire in the game.

  Any thoughts been on adding the negotiation ability option to custom wildlands? As this plus the ability to pick a race from tha list would give us back minor factions, ones that we could make ourselves.  I personally would like to make a minor faction out of a good percentage of Heavenfall's & Seanw3's summon creature list. 

%100 support for in-game quests so far!

Why would a quest editor mean the map is getting an update?

There is a picture with better cloth map art in the OP.

Weird. The picture is off in my browser. I didn't even notice. That looks amazing!

As to the ethereal Quest Editor I have some basic thoughts:

-Make sure it supports an infinite amount of objectives. I am currently averaging 5-20 objectives in my current efforts. The Labyrinth is close to 35 I believe.

-Please make the UI a drop down sort of deal where we can add a game modifier that pops in under the objective with all the requisite parts. Having each objective show a massive list of all the possible things an objective can do makes the UI scrolling painfully long and confuses the hell out of people.

-Objective 0 and objective 1 is confusing. Keep it how it is, but make sure the player can easily tell that the game starts at 0, not 1.

-Please get free with drop down box lists for items and monsters to be added. The more we can choose from a list, the faster things will go.

-Choosing the goodie hut and such would also be smart to be chosen from a list.

-Some things need to stay in highly custom format, though. Encounters need to have lots of room to choose the level and equipment of those units.

Just some basic ideas. I look forward to a final word on this as it would give me some modding competition from other users.

I really like the quest editor feature. I hope it gets added.

It would be fantastic if we could tie a quest to something that happens in the game, but only happens if 1. you have hired that hero or have that Sovereign, and 2. any other conditions must be true (with possibly a percentage chance included).

Also, it will be very welcome when we get other triggers for quests apart from population!
