Great games of the past like Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and Warcraft 2 had easy to use map editors. Instead of buying all these map tiles or pulling them free off the internet, I would continue to pay the subscription fee for one of these types of editors. It would make it a lot easier when placing walls that they already had dynamic lighting effects and braziers automatically had a set light radius (that could be edited of course). With the automatic lighting effects on walls the next step would be to animate the doors, either open or closed, to allow light through when opened.
