Be honest - how many hours have you spent goofing around in a game's map editor instead of actually playing the game proper? Not to actually publish it online or anything like that, or just for the fun of building cities or setting up ridiculous "100 uber unis for me vs a normal enemy base" maps?

Can't say I have to report any autistic amount of hours here. I'm the creative type, but map editors have never done it for me. The most I fucked around with was smash brawl, to make the most impractical stages I could think of.

I liked doing stupid things like filling the entire map with the same kind of unit, but also arranging it so that it was a checkerboard pattern of the same kind of unit but from an enemy/AI player. When I was little this would usually crash the PC I was trying to play AoE2 on but it works these days.

I don't know if it counts, but 70% of my hours in Shogun 2 are just from fucking around in custom battle mode.

I spent many hours in the map editor of AoE2 making pacific war inspired "cinematic" maps, a few D-days too and some proper well defended cities where i'd just have to defend against the AI

I spent shitloads of time in UnrealEd and actually learned programming that way. A shame it wasn't part of the loonix port, I really miss it.

I'm enjoying the rage of using NWN2's aurora editor and it's constant shitting the bed.

Oh also, I'm trying to build a city in it, yes.

Half the fun with editors is finding all the beta leftover stuff or other cut content. It's a pity that you usually need third-party tools or other tricks to see how the devs themselves made individual missions run.
