I was saying boo-urns...
Ok so I had an idea. Inevitably what's going to happen if this game ever gets up and running is that we're going to have a whole bunch of people arguing things like "workboat first"... "no worker first". And "Work the plains hill"... "No work the floodplain!"... And a whole bunch of analysis backing up each persons case.
My idea is to load an SP noble map, go into worldbuilder and turn all the tiles into ocean. Then, manually recreate the terrain (or what of the map we have seen so far) and put in all the units/cities/buildings etc... This way people can load the map and literally test out different paths and see where they take them. You can run as many different paths as you like and that way we can know which is best.
Later on if we're at war you could even put in all the troop positions and test what the most effective strategies are (kind of like having infinite reloads).
I can see a few obvious drawbacks.
1) We won't know exactly where we start so if we get it wrong you could run out of space.
2) If we don't know the enemy leaders/civs there might not be an efficient way to edit them in (unless we don't have unrestricted leaders in which case we could jjust add them all in...)
3) People would actually have to be bothered to go through the painstaking process of creating the map...
Let me know what you think of the idea!
