Could this be done?

I've never done a large scale mod but I would love to try make a stargate mod. I know that races could be done, but what I am interested in knowing before I try anything is the following. Is it possible to create a warp(stargate) that could take the player to another map(world)? So it would be like one player per map, maybe other nations on Earth, but mostly one civ on each planet and you go through the warp to get to said map.

So basically is it possible to have multiple maps in one game and to be able to link them together. If not multiple maps would it be possible to create a large map and cut off the one map into many smaller sections for each planet and again have some sort of warp system?

It will probably never be possible to have multiple maps, the other solution which has one large map similar to this for Civ 4 would be possible

You should be able to create a large map with impassable terrain, and you can teleport units using Lua, so it's probably possible from a technical point of view, but large maps are slow and prone to crashes. I don't think you can have interacting different maps.

Okies thanks for letting me know. I'll play around a bit with the mod tools before I try tackle this but just wanted to know if it was even slightly possible.

Cheers guys.
