Hello everybody.
I am writing here for the first time and I am really looking forward to the release of the

Humankind. And I wondered if there would be tools in the game for creating your own and editing maps?

Since more than once caught myself thinking that it would be cool in the

Endless Legend to create custom maps without modding.

EL really lacked the map editor. The verticality of the map, all those cliffs and valleys just needed a little bit hand of god to fall into place and become a strategic element. Random map generation didn't quite get there.

I think it would be especially cool to have a map editor so we could do campaigns like 'fall of the Roman empire' or 'French revolution'

The desire for a map editor is definitely on our radar. However, we can't yet promise if and when it will be available. From experience, the current dev-tools we have are not exactly user-friendly.

So, it is not a feature for release, is it? All we have is a change it would be added later. OK, works for me.

We would love to have it for release, but we're not sure we can deliver it by then.

I think a lot of people would agree to wait a certain period after the release if only there was such a possibility in the game in the future.

We all would, we all would :')

But that's cool even if we would have to wait a little.

Greets I have worked with 'Tiled' a third party hex editor which i used to make maps for Endless Legend. Even if we must use this again to make maps for Humankind please at least put out some closer form of Mod Tools support such as releasing the terrain and tilesets so we as a community can make maps for Humankind and keep interest alive in this game for much longer.

Example of community made maps for EL that could work in Humankind with minimal adjustment

My personal EL map in Tiled which could be adapted for Humankind if we get the tilesets released and mod support:
(Also please fix currently broken EL engine which doesn't accept modded maps which don't import since Volcano DLC please! Modders suspect code changes or perhaps newly added volcano river layer which spawns dynamically as an extra layer in tiled which mapmakers cannot account for : ) )

It's been a long time since you announced this.

Well, after postponing the release of the game, can we expect a map editor?

I would also love to hear any news about possible future modding support from the devs!
