Default Re: Paging Dr. Willett...

Hi,

I've read that there will be a random terrain generator. Does that mean that with some parameters (random at the beginning), a map will be drawn ? If yes, a change in the parameters would change the way the map looks.

It woul be nice that the maps look change while parameters change. For example, if the climate of some provinces turns colder, those may become whiter on the map. Or green when temperate, or yellow/brown when hot. Other provinces parameters may be also displayed their way (ie : animals sprites for life, bones for death, stars popping for magic, etc...).

It would be nice that the map looking represents the real aspect of the world, much better than to look the provinces one by one to see if they are hot or cold. It permits to "feel" the world you're dealing with.

That would also permit terraforming spells (ie : suppressing/adding sprites for mountains, trees, volcanoes,etc...).

Do you think it is possible ?
