I've been looking at some topics on revora and a lot of people asked how to turn a waypoint so that the starting fortress could be in the right angle. A lot of the replies said it couldn't be done, so I thought too at first. Dunno if you guys knew about this but if you select the waypoint u want to change angle of u need to select the waypoint AND an object that can be modified (altititude, angle, scale etc), when u have selected em both the object menu will appear instead of the waypoint menu, just change the angle of the object menu to any position u like and the waypoint will change angle together with the object. Hope I came up with something new
Found a way to modify angle/height for waypoints

That's the way of modding. Sometimes it doesn't work out. At least now we all know where not to go, hehe.

You probably already know this but...
You can always specify a fortress for a given faction. This will of course limit the fortress type and an open-ended skirmish map might end up having a dwarves faction starting with an elven fortress. That is - if on the skirmish screen one chooses dwarves instead of elves but in worldbuilder the map-maker put an elven fortress specified to player_1 then you end up with dwarven porters, dwarven hero choices, but an elven fortress with elven upgrades and extension plots (ent guards, flood gate, etc.)
This can be a problem for some but you can specify direction of the fortress this way.... A simple change the fortress to the desired faction if you wish to change it. Or one could make multiple copies of the same map - each one with a different fortress. At the moment it is what I'm having to do because I have spent far too much effort on my map to throw it away. I built it without knowing the issue beforehand, unfortunately.

Well, all fortress maps (Minas Tirith, Rivendell ...) work like that.
