Hope this question is not inappropriate, but are there any sort of basic Faq's (other than the one on the site) or guides to using the Scenario Editor, as I am just getting started building scenarios.
Yeah, Hexagonian has a modder's guide on his site.
Also, attached is a guide to CtP scenario design by John Bytheway. It is for CtP1, but most of it works for CtP2, with some notable changes, such as the *icon.txts all being merged into uniticon.txt, and SpriteID.txt being replaced by newsprite.txt.

McLevel - Hexagonians guide is invaluable, plus there are some notes in theodifications section on the apolyton site. Good to hear from another settler trying to edit their own scenarios. If I can help give me a shout.
Nice to see somebody else with an mc in their name
