So, i was making a couple of maps that take part of a big island on AOW, firstly you need to scout this island with a small team on the first map, then on the second you will send a landing force to conquer it and finally on the third map, defend this island that you just conquered from enemy forces...

The thing is that is really annoying to reproduce the same details of the starting map on another over and over and then adding the results of the prior map... So i guess that would be nice if it is possible to just allow copies of the selected map to shorten the work and even recicle other existing maps and transform them. Like picking an already existing map and make one version of it in another season or after a natural disaster...

So i thought that the following options should be in:

· Convert Map (Switch map mode from campaign > skirmish or skirmish > campaign)

Random map:
· Copy the map (Terrain):
Create a copy the selected random map, including only the terrain.
· Copy the map (Terrain and neutral units):
Create a full copy of the selected random map.

Campaign maps:
· Copy the map (Terrain + map setup):
Will create a copy of the selected map, including the map setup and terrain.
· Copy the map (Terrain and units + map setup):
Will create a copy of the selected map, including the setup, terrain and all the units.
· Copy the map (Terrain, units and triggers + map setup):
Full copy of the campaign map.

You already can use any in-game random (campain maps will crash you) map for random map draft.

We only need ability to use them for skirmish maps as well.

I know, but that just do create a draft with the same canvas size and name of the desired map than the actual map, no terrain, no tiles, units or else, nothing but grass tiles... You can actually copy the size of larger maps out of the "beta" limits with it, but beside that, it just a blank function atm...

*Edit: Oh nvm, it seens that it does not work on some older maps from AOS/AOF for some reason, but on the recent maps it works fine...

i made it a few days ago1: you can make skirmish maps too, with this you can make any kind of draft from anything.
but only on "non tmx" based (new kind)of maps.
if a map gets copied like an empty one or makes crash that is an old type of map probably.
(i dont plan to make more easy/intuitive way to copy as it should be a "hidden" option, as i dont want to get the mapmarket spammed with copies of other's works or for me getting maps for putting in that are same as existing (i would not know if that is an existing clone)
(this was the reason in the first place i have not made such button eralier)
