Concise description:
- Change map image in the middle of game
Specifics/Details:
- I am suggesting to implement XML or map mechanism which allow to change map images in the middle of games
- Map image change may happen after each players turn or depending on some player take or hold some codition
- Example 1: Think About a Darknor - Level 2 map where arrows direction change after each players turn
- Example 2: Think About a fancy map where map changes to a different one when a player take specific location on map such as Throne which symbolize a regime change and change of rules & everything in the country
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
- 1. More fun maps
- 2. New type of game play.
- 3. New Stratergies
- 4. New type of tournaments
- 5. New Medals
- 6. More new players attract to site
- 7. Site revenue increase
- 8. Site owners happy
- 9. Site owners invest more capital to site improvements
- 10. Site will get more and more improvements
- 11. Playes will be happy
- 12. Go to above 6. and cycle repeat again

Edit : to change the suggested feature name from Map Image Transform to Map Image Swapping

Where ?
There is no map working the way I suggested.
And
Currently avilable XML <transform> thing which has not yet used in any map is not doing this thing I suggested.
It do some different thing.

No transforms are basically conditional auto-deploy/decay can only change the size of the stack not ownership or other gameplay.
I have a few maps with transforms on the beta site that I am hoping to migrate to the live site by the end of this year

would the transformation be random? or would it be a set feature of the map that can be planned for?

Which transform feature you are asking about ?
The one I suggested above or ?
about the one plurple telling above ?
Well I think the feature I am suggesting should have another name than "Transform" as there is already a different feature with that name.
So I thing better name for my suggestion would be "Map Image swap"

There was a feature that is talked about in the map foundry called stages. That is similar to this but I don't know much about it and do not believe the code exists for it anymore. I don't know if it was just a feature that was planned and never got off the ground or if over the years the code got lost and vanished.
