Why doesn't the editor let you have water in caves... this is dumb.

What? Sure you can have water in caves, just paint it with "Water" in the rivers tileset.

You can't just use the "Water" elevation tool because caverns are already at the lowest elevation available (while overground maps are one level higher).

You can also raise elevation in the undergroud so you should be able to use the other kind of water on the ground that you raise. I've only used the river water underground though.

Heroes 5 ;)

It would be nice for all users to write at the title [H5] or [H3] etc to prevent confusion :D
No matter how powerful one becomes, there is always someone stronger. That's why I'm in a constant pursuit of power, so I can be prepared when an enemy tries to take advantage of me.

Sorry, I just assume everyone is on H5... I didn't think about the rivers tileset... I always just use the elevation tool
