For those who wish to lay out the terrain in each of the additional areas of the TFR tutorial module, here are instructions on what to do, step-by-step.

If you instead wish to download a version of the module that has all the areas built as far as terrain is concerned, so that you can pick up on the next section of the tutorial immediately, it can be downloaded from here.

These instructions assume you have gone through the first part of the Toolset Tutorial, and are aware of how to create new areas. Each segment below will contain the name of the area, the tileset to use, the size (width x height) and then instructions for which elements to drop into the area.
