I tried it whilst reading the source briefly, and it seemed solid enough a concept. I would try it out right now if I wern't on holiday whilst on holiday.
I'm on holiday in Australia, and took a secondary flight to Sydney and left my laptop in Perth, meaning I'm at an internet cafe and cannot install stuffs like BYOND. Flash client pls.
Alright I got a chance to use it, and it really functions great. If I had any, these would be my criticizms:
1: A fill feature would really be nice, I had my large castle all sorted out when I realised I had to replace all the grass tediously.
2: OCD castle of mine didn't have perfect edges due to the buttons on the map being in the way. I'm unsure of a fix, but it would be nice regardless.
3: I'd really love a third grey floor tile as opposed to the blue everywhere. Personal preference I suppose, it's just padding in reality, but it would be nice.
Bugs:
Only one I found, if you zoom out, then click edit mode again, you stay zoomed out.
Suggestions:
A few 'fun' tiles could be cool. Like a tile that prevented placing of units, but allowed players on for more player-orientated combat

Considered it. I may split the map editing tools into 2 tabs. One for general tools, like tile selection and line/fill/rectangle drawing options, and one for the saving/loading/resetting map icons.

Indeed this is a problem, but I also haven't come up with any intuitive solutions.

I plan on making it so users can upload their own graphics for the map builder, and subscribers can upload custom troop icons for their armies. Though, a few additional built-in tiles isn't out of the question.

DUN DUN DUN. There's a bigger problem if you create a map with no gold or enemy spawns =P There's an update in the works, but for some reason updates of this game take longer than most. Probably because I find it boring to work on/play.

I believed this was too simple a bug to be an issue, I'M ASHAMED OF YOU D:
Also the ability to alt(Or left or ctrl) click a unit to make it the active buying unit is a feature I'd love to see, I.e I alt-click a cleric and my mouse icon changes to it and I can start buying them without needing to move my mouse (And use EFFORT, huehueh)
