The map is generating, AFAIK. Unless, of course, your lua logs are lying. Also, before implementing new features (especially DLL-based features) we should release a version 3f that patches all bugs created by the new fall patch.
Once these issues have been resolved, we should begin working on a new DLL to implement some features we have always wanted, and if possible we should create an external application to serve as the game's AI, and this separate application can run on a grid-computing framework (there are many cross-platform ones that exist already, so this shouldn't be a problem) and feed information to our custom DLL so that the "thinking" of the AI can be written more efficiently than allowed by the game and can be multithreaded and make use of more memory than the base game.
