Multi Maps Initial Benifits?

[12padams]

We are all eagerly awaiting multi maps to be released so this mod can expand dramatically. So far I've heard (come across by browsing this forum) that the following things will be able to be done once multimaps is released:

Underground Exploration/Cities
Underwater Exploration/Cities
Solar System/ Space Exploration/shapeships
Planet/Moon Exploration

Is there anything else I'm missing... Oh yea! Other dimensions! Obviously this is a long way off though because space comes first in technological advancements

Anyway I was just wondering what the devs believe will happen with caveman to cosmos within the first 3 months of the release of multimaps. Do you think there will be planets and spaceships initially or will that take a year or even more to plan and develop?

Step by step what are your plans in the dev process once muiltmaps is released?

Wow so actual floating cities? Oh and space stations too would be a possibility!

But... What the is benifit of air cities? Melee units can't attack them?

We already have many threads discussing what is planned for multi-maps. We don't need another one.

Well how about you put some links in this one so I can see these other threads you speak of.

Thanks in advance

The Multiple Maps and Mapscripts look like more a "For modders" thread ^^'

I like the idea of "another dimension", but i prefer to have first moon to debug, then Mars and Underwater/underground to really use it and help the AI to use the multi-map feature, add some "colonize mars and make earth a living hell" strategy to them

1. That may be true regarding the Multi-Maps and Mapscripts thread, but if you want to know where development of Viewports and Multi-Maps stands that is where to look. Koshling hasn't done much work in this department since late July, although that may be changing soon.

2. I agree, we probably will add Moon, Mars, and Solar System maps first, then the Galactic Map, and after that an underground/underwater map, and anything else that we may decide to make more maps for.

I am adding terrain as fast as I can so in theory we will get all types at once . However I have only done Lunar and Martian so far. I have done some galactic but not solar system yet.

But in practice they will be added in whatever order Hydro, AIAndy, and myself decide to add support (buildings, mapscripts, and units/promotions respectively) for them.
