I don't think their is support in armabell for adding that. I'm not sure as i only used that once. So you will need to edit the xml map and find the

Code: Select all

<Zone effect="death">
and change it to

Code: Select all

<Zone effect="death" growth=".3">
where .3 is the rate of expansion, you can of course play around with that.

Note: each death zone will have it's own

Code: Select all

<Zone effect="death">
so multiple death zones means multiple entries of that

it is all case sensitive.
i noticed you capitalized it in your post
<Zone Effect="Death" Growth=".3">
it should be

Code: Select all

<Zone effect="death" growth=".3">
Zone is the only one you keep capitalized in that line anyway.

growth is an attribute of ShapeCircle, not Zone. Try this:

Code: Select all

<Zone effect="death">
<ShapeCircle radius="13" growth=".3">
