the map editor isn't that hard really... once u start putting buildings/items on the map u start to see how the different lines make up that object. some have small edges that stick out from the main house like the ledge to the top of the citybuilding. u will learn to place these a tad closer to walls so that touch.

castle...yes its in 2 peices. wall and towers. just place a wall down. it will be facing north or 0 to start. then place a tower to its right. u'll have to watch the lines for these to match up good! look for a doorway on the tower and use the lines that would be where u walk across as the guide lines to match it to the wall part. remember the tower doorway is at an angle, not facing west or south but more SW. then place another wall down and rotate it 90%. but beside the first tower part. repeat these steps and rotate parts as needed.

as far as knowing which way stuff faces just look at them, most start off facing 0 or north on the map, that would be the top of the screen. look for doorways so u know which part is the front of houses and junk. of course some doors are in the back also. hope this helped a little bit more.

opps, i forgot about fences... just zoom in on the map to make these line up. the gate part also only opens one way so u'll have to rotate it to face the opposite way if it opens the wrong way.
