New Mod for flare - Help needed to set it up

Hello, after having a poke here and there with the Flare engine i finally decided to start my own mod. The title is "Heresy" and i want it to be somewhat like Diablo; far darker than Empirean and more story driven.

Since the documentation is so scarce im having many doubts rigth from the start, i hope you can help me. If things go well i plan to create a tutorial for newbies with all i learn along the way.

So here goes my first questions, i created an empty mod as per wiki with a "settings.txt" file; but after that, there is no info of what to do at all. So i copied Empiream files into my empty mod folder; should i do that or is better to just base my mod over fantasy core->Empiream->Heresy?:

- The way i made it, its a stand alone, which is a plus since nothing will change in the future in its base core

- Making it over "fantasy core->Empiream->Heresy" will allow me to get all future improvements since i will "inherit" from the base mods, but my Mod folder will be empty. I think this is the best way, but i have no idea what to do next.

Help, please?; im making my first map, and i also dont know how to hook it to be the starting point/initial map of the game.
