The game board and the toolbox are now shown.
The toolbox contains the objects you can use in your quest. They are divided
into the categories doors, furniture, miscellanous, monsters, tiles and traps.
!IMPORTANT! each quest must have a starting location so place that first from
miscellanous-start. You can up to 4 starting points. Players will be spread
evenly between the starting points. Good for divide and conquer strategies :-)
Other than that you are free to design your quest. There is a limit of 225
objects, so dont go bananas.
To add an object select it from the toolbox and click on the square you want it.
Some objects require inputs from you (such as traps, spells).
To remove an object click on it's square (the top-left corner
square) with the same object selected or
replace it with another object from the same category.
small Tiles (one square wide or high) can be placed on top of
larger tiles allowing you to place a rock blockade on a larger floor tile.
Only exception is the top-left square of the larger tile.
Notes will display their
message as a tooltip if you hold the mouse directly over it. To delete/replace
them click somewhere else on the same square.
Doors, Tiles and Furniture can be rotated after you have selected them in the
toolbox by right-clicking with the mouse.
You can combine objects on the same square if they are from different
categories.
