Spherical (4 directions). I have problem understanding what exactly does wrap-around. As province linking can be altered to our own choice (eg linking the provinces of two opposite edges), I suppose that the wraparound option is only used for scrolling purpose?
Also, am I right in assuming that you have no link detection algorithm in doms II, or does the one of Doms I still present, but optional?
What is a good map size? I was thinking of 4 1024x768 screen total, so 2048 x 1536 ? I know that with zoom it is not much an issue, but what are the average size of doms II maps made so far?
will we have a library of pre made sprites for forests and mountains? If no, do you feel its ok (for a fan made map) to use graphics from old games, like Heroes of Might and Magic III? I dont want to be accused of copyright infrigment (sp?)...
Last, what are the resolutions supported by doms II? 1024 is ok?
thank you again in sharing these infos.
