Here is a sample sequence of steps for creating a new mission.

1. Draw a picture with mission map in any gfx editor

2. Save it as 256 colors uncompressed bitmap (*.BMP) file

3. Launch MH2MissionEditor.exe

4. Create a new project and select your BMP picture with mission map. 

5. Set the mission data - provinces' income

6. Assign provinces to players, set players' capitals

7. Set guardian armies to non-free provinces (if needed)

8. Set players' properties - unit types/campaign army/skills/AI type/...

9. Compile Mission for PDA... !Warning! In this version you should name it as Scenario00X,  where X can be 2,3,4,5,6,7,...

10. Now, you can install your mission (*.PDB file) on the pda and test it. Launch MH II, you can see your mission in the New Game->Select a Mission list.

11. Check mission ballance, and repeat steps 5-11 until you satisfy with a result.

12. Open your project

13. Set mission properties (you can press 'F3' to open the 'Mission Properties' window)

14. Set players and provinces' names

15. Update Castles and Armies Flags positions if needed

16. Compile Mission for PDA...

That's all
