So I'm playing around with the editor everything is ok but for some reason I'm unable to create new zones [4]. I can add triggers or prohibited buildings zones just fine but for zones there is just no option to add a new one. Is there a switch somewhere to activate this? In particular I want to create a new temple placement. Every map i looked at has circular zones on the building spots. So how do you do it?

Yes exactly that is the question. I clicked this and there is no option to create a new zone and for the existing ones the options to copy&paste are greyed out. So no way to go from there.
Probably something is wrong with the editor I guess. That is a bug obviously.
So what you're telling is that when you right-click n the blank field to the right, you are unable to choose to create a circled or polygoned zone, right? It does not show anything for you?

Well actually with a new map I can do that, since there is a blank field to right to click into. Now when playing around with an existing map, like your steel and honor for instance, the list is full with a scroll bar to the right. Now there is no blank space to click into. I'm sure it's something stupid I'm mising somewhere.
omg lol i found it. I have to scroll all the way down and hit that one pixel to actually get the menu for the new zone.
Ah, thats the problem!
Hehe, thats another matter, mate. The Editor is... imperfect. You have to manually add those zones in the map .mi file.
Search the document for helper/zones line, take one zone and make copies. change the central coordinate so it doesnt overlap, and change the name. Then save. Then reload the editor, you will see those zones. do what you need with them.

Yes looks like i have to do it this way since the editor doesn't seem to realize the alt-gr key which is needed for the @ on my keyboard. Thanks for your help.
