With Star Edit, you're free to edit and manipulate both the pre-mission briefing and the messages the player receives during the mission itself. Features such as how many players, which races will be playing and which units and upgrades are available to each are just a few of the things that you can control with Star Edit. In addition to editing the map and everything on it, you also can change aspects of the scenario. Most of the Star Edit palette is dedicated to Map Editing. This feature allows you to place terrain features (such as rivers or plateaus), buildings and even troops, from any of the three races. The most basic, obvious function of StarEdit is map editing. Campaign' refers to a series of scenarios or maps linked so the player proceeds automatically from one to the next. Both terms refer to a single map designed with StarEdit. The terms 'mission' and 'scenario' are used interchangeably in this book. You can make completely typical missions (a straightforward fight between the Terrans and Zerg, for example), or highly unusual ones (a bizarre game of interstellar football). StarEdit is a powerful editor that allows you to modify most aspects of a StarCraft mission and build new ones from scratch.
