I remember really vaguely that there actually were attempts at map editing and map creation for TD.. though they were kind of testy... external DOS apps that managed to rip apart the early MIX files and if you were lucky let you do something with the maps.. I could never really get them working.. but they were around.. and a number of fan made maps that I couldn't really use since it was pretty hard to get people to take and install the maps properly... TD had a weird system were the maps were sorted by their position in the overall map listing.. that meant that a new map had to the same on both machines AND in addition to that they had to be in teh EXACT same position on the ingame list... neither particularly easy.. especially with not intention for adding new maps to begin with and ESPECIALLY no auto downloading system like RA1 had.
Speaking of RA1 don't forget mod maps, what was that guy's name again who made the really funky mod maps for ra1? Nurm, Norm? NAM, something er other...
