The Map Editor

(see the full Map Editor article for more)

Creating a new map

To enable the Map Editor add the “-modding” (without the quotes) to the Launch Options for the game (in Steam, right-click the game, go to Properties, click Set Launch Options in the General tab). That will add a Map Editor button to the main menu of the game.From there you can decide if you want to modify an existing map, or create a new one. If you create a new one the menu to the right is presented. It is recommended you use DX11 version of Ashes as DX12 can cause issues in the editor of certain objects such as the cursor not being rendered.

For your first map I’d select a smaller map size. You probably assume that you will run out of space quickly on small maps, you would be wrong. Ashes small maps are what other games would call huge. The large ones are ridiculous and will take a lot of time to design. Practice on some small ones first.
