When I used the map editor I could only delete one thing at a time and that was too time consuming for me, especially where I was trying to reshape a large area. Also I was hoping to make a new spiral template so that I could generate random maps with a slightly different design. Between work and kids I only get 1 or 2 hours a week to play this not really keen on spending the next three or four weeks making one map.
So a map template edit instructions or a tutorial would be more beneficial for me.
