When i edit the world level, the lower part of the map simply doesn't appear! I'm tired to have to test every 20 seconds to see if a site was well-placed, is there somehow i can see the lower part at the editor?

There is a checkbox somewhere on the interface that makes that part visible (but then another part of the interface disappears -- not well designed in my opinion). Be warned that its possible that placing mapsites down there may cause the editor to abort (and you lose work...). I complained months ago about it doing that when I edited and reedited mapsites in the lower area and got so sick if it that I gave up trying to seriously use such a buggy program.
(this was with whatever patches TM put out).

I played around with the editor later and stayed away from the lower area of the map and didnt have too many aborts.

Its a good idea to save your developing scenario maps in a sequence of numbered names so that you can go back one or more to recover from some bad data that causes the abort error to reoccur.

I hope that TM does better on the next games editor. The last one was below industry standards (especially for a game that gets alot of its longevity from player mods).
