Reply to Map editor: Add cities? in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

Using custom designed tiles is of course an option to mark interesting spots on the map. Haven't figured out how to add text, though... the Elemental campaign world features a nice, detailed cloth map with place/location names, so it must be possible somehow :-) What still baffles me a bit though is the empty "buildings" list view when I select the "buildings" object type. Is this supposed to be empty at this stage? Or am I missing out on something?

Dread Lords Campaign - Mission "Exploitation" in Strategies GalCiv2 Forums

Whats the best strategy for this mission? Any keys to success? The usual strategies (generally the proverbial 4x) do not seem to work to well.... First of all, the objective is kind of vague... how can a "lasting peace" by forging alliances be achieved? Secondly, the economy. You have 12000 credits at the start, but a minuscule population (1m out of 12m on the home planet), so building up an economy is very hard. At my first attempt I noticed too late that I was overspending w
