I really like your number three.
The only problem I forsee in that is what happens when you need to playtest or
others need to play test a map, but you don't want them to have to beat several
maps to get to the one you want tested? I guess it would be something you turn
on and off maybe?

Hi ian, don't know why, but this particular email landed in my junk mail
folder! Well here's my top 3:
1. support for random numbers either as a single number or an x D y thing,
as I ave mentioned before
2. I would really like to see multiplayer features added. Connect to an IP
address, the game hoster selects a map or allows the person who joined to
select one. Map downloading would occur if the joiner didn't have a map.
Then the players could see what was happening and hear everything that was
happening as it happened. I'm not quite sure how to deal with the fog of war
issue in multiplayer. Maybe you could hear a click or something every time
your opponent did something so that you knew he as moving and not like
idling or something. Of course there'd be text chat features. I know that
would be a huge undertaking.
3. trophies/ unlockable content. Back in version 1.09 of tb I was looking at
the getting started maps and saw a trophies folder. I really don't know how
you could define conditions for trophies in maps, but each map pack would
have its own set of trophies. You'd probably have to make some new map flags
and trophy flags. Like here might be a sample trophy file
trophies\flying solo.txt
trophy
1
wow, your strategic skills rae excellent. Even though all the rest of your
units were massacred, you still managed to come through and win!
map_number=3 //this would be the number before the dash in your map pack.
unit_alive=cluny
all_other_unit_effects=death
In the same vein, unlockable content would apply to a map. Winning would
unlocking the next map in the series. Perhaps 2 flags would suffice:
unlock_map= and then the map number or unlock_next_map which would simply
unlock the next map in numerical sequence
wow that's long-winded. THanks for reading.
