Hello. This (as my first post under this name) is from a scenario designer, but one who tries to use only the standard AoK and TC, no mods. I try to develope the best scenarios I can without any mods. I was wondering if anyone could create a guid to map and trigger tricks using the basic editor, that do not use trigger studio or mods to accomplish.
The only thing i really understand is map copying buildings, and while that is cool, I'd like to have a larger variety of tricks up my sleeves for my scenarios.
I'd like for this to become some sort of list of all the possible tricks you can accomplish with vanilla, to not just be used by me, but by all other newbs.
PS. my first scenario should be out this summer, with over 200 man hours going into it. a special bonus: all music for the scenario will be composed by me for the scenario.

No reason not to use trigger studio, the copy for all players feature is must have for any multiplayer scenario designing. I got triggers studio just for that

yeah, i hate dealing with mods though. the only one i ever used was AOChivalry. greatest thing ever. I also understand that great gameplay and map design are very important. but I would appreciate if people could explain some of the tricks and stuff they use (I am unable to download any tutorials or anything ATM, and for the forseeable future).
for instance, a guide to all of the map tricks known (good combinations of buildings to create more interesting structures. for instance a house and a mill to make a bakery, or a house and a stable to make an inn.)
or maybe tirgger tricks, or explanations on how to keep my game to stop crashing when I use remove object and change ownership effects. (it's ruining my scenario, I can tell you. I can't do crap with my storyline [bunch of changing factions] without change ownership.)
