Suggestion: Larger Maps

[trekwest]

Suggestion: Allow for larger maps for more dynamic, interesting gameplay.

Maybe there's a technical reason to the current mapsize, but I play on a smaller monitor,
and there is still plenty of space for additional gameplay area.

Would permit maps with many more regions, and map designers could get much more
creative with the extra real estate.

Even if you had to scroll a bit, a bigger mapsize would be a blast to play in, and
allow for many more combinations of moves and strategy. Games in a map such
as this with 8 players...pure mayhem.

Could be offered in addition to the default size.

Yes, the programming, which I have no idea how it works, would likely be dramatically
more complex.

I guess you get the idea by now. Just a thought.

you have two aspect there in your suggestion...
1. larger maps
2. more dynamic interesting gameplay.

my take on 2. is that a lot of this is determined by the xml engine, so until we have more updates to what the engine can & can't do, then we are limited to current gameplay.

my take on 1. is that the current size restrictions are for a lowest common denominator principle and maybe in the future it will be upgraded.

What size monitor/screen do you have? But think about everyone else...do they have what you have; and there are now 255K members +
