Total War: Warhammer developers Creative Assembly are rolling out a battle map editing tool, pleasantly called Terry. A full release is slated before the end of the month – a month in which we’re also expecting news about the fully fleshed-out Bretonnian race – but if you’re on Windows 10, you can get into the beta now.

Between Halo Wars, Warhammer and Total War, CA are busy these days. Keep track with everything Creative Assembly are working on right now.
‘Terry’ is a land battle map editor with a “full suite of environment models, props, SFX and VFX”. You’ll be able to add AI hints, set deployment zones and no-go regions, paint textures and vegetation and so on. One-click exporting creates a .pack file for your map, which you can toggle on and off in the Total War launcher and share on Steam via the workshop. Maps will also be automatically pushed to your friends if you want to play a multiplayer game on your creation.
Sound good? If you’d like to access the beta:

If you’re a creative type, thinking the new tools will finally let you make that epic Cathay campaign you’ve been writing in your head, you may be disappointed. Creative Assembly say they can’t release a campaign map editing tool because the tools they use themselves are a mix of tech, including some from third parties they can’t distribute. Making a campaign editor from scratch “would take us a long time and delay the next Total War”, which no one wants to see.
YouTubers DarrenTotalWar and PartyElite have shown off the Terry tool on their channels, so you can get a sense of what it’s like to use.
What will you make in Terry?

Creative Assembly said it'll have more information on how to make maps using Terry soon.
There were a few grumbles in the Total War tweaking community because there's no campaign map editing tool for Total War: Warhammer. Creative Assembly said it can't release it because 'it doesn't exist'.
'The way we build the campaign map at CA is through a series of processes involving a mix of tech we make and 3rd party tools we don't own the right to distribute, within a development version of the game,' CA explained.

'This is the best way for us to create our games, and we don't use an all-in-one editor that you might be thinking of.
'While it is theoretically possible to create an editor like this, it wouldn't benefit our development process, would take us a long time and delay the next Total War releasing and would mean that we'd be making an editor and not a game, which is what we would much rather do.'
So, why is the battle map editor called Terry?
'Terry as in 'terrain'. That's it. That's the whole reason,' a Creative Assembly source told Eurogamer.
