im all for more options, but there is a point where you have TOO many options. i personally dont want to have to spend more than 2 mins clicking circles in order to make a game

keredrex is right. it wouldn't be involving too many clicks.

first of all this map would be a map just like any other.

you want something quick, play doodle. you want something long, play world 2.1. you want something really really long then chose this map.

when you chose it the map will be displayed as all maps are. the only difference will be that you'll be able to zom in and out of the map to be able to play each quadrant. that's all. yeas it would take a bit more time with all that zooming back and forth BUT considering this would be such a huge map and that players will be far away from eachother there's no way this will be played as a speed game as it would take too much time. so there's not the problem of running out of time and stuff like that.

Great idea ,
Even three maps would be sweet. say for a tournament final.
would make for a long game though.

Even just a best 2 out of 3 kind of thing as a game option.

actually i have i even went as far as designing a game together with 2 other people but lack of funds meant we had to shut down the project while it was still an idea. now i'm actually pretty determined of trying again to do a website or at least sell a game idea to a local game developer.
