Utility: Province Editor v101 - Updated

[Ballbarian]

Less than 4 hours sleep and a long day at work so please forgive my short answers, and thank you for the positive feedback Foodstamp!

On the "Step 1" page there is a section listed as "size". Does checking normal, small and large screen for the map size, or the province size?

Province size.

Is it acceptable to check a terrain type and a site type?

Yes!

I am at a loss on the usage of the climate tag, as well as using the climate settings in the map generator as well, could you give a brief overview on how they work?

Endoperez covered this well. (Thanks Endo!)

Finally, would it be possible to give us some examples as to what combinations will and will not work in "Step 1" of the province editor?

For examples, look to existing Gan filenames. Step 1 is all about building the file name with the desired flags. For a little more help, I will paste the filename flags below:
Code:

Thanks for the great responses guys. You have both pretty much answered my questions I had about this great tool.

One more quick question if I may. If I were to create a province with the "OR", Forest, Water Site, Death Site. Am I right in thinking that it will search for a forest province with either a death or water site?

[Endoperez]

I think that would be any one of the three. I'm not sure how the site modifiers work, but I think you can do (forest and water site) OR (forest and death site)
