So open Tiled by double clicking in <b>tiled.jar</b> or by running it as:

java -jar tiled.jar

Now click on File and now choose Open, find template.tmx and click Open

We are going to work on a 64x64 map. So click on Map and choose Resize.

A 64x64 map is not big, it will take a player around 40 seconds to move from one end to the other, but it is big enough for our example.

As you see you can resize the map and make also bigger so you can create a bigger map later.

* small_village_2_roof

* small_village_1_object

* small_village_0_floor

This step is very important because Stendhal use layers' name and not file name to generate game content. So please make sure you named them correctly.

Don't forget to rename all the layers.

Now save this map as small_village.tmx by click on File and choose Save as.<br> You need to type the complete name with .tmx

Our village is a rich one, so let's look for a nice ground for it.<br>

Now click on Fill and fill the floor. ok? It is too tiled, so let's add a few details like borders and a checked board at the main square.<br>

Notice that everything is still done at layer 0.
