Default Re: 3D Map Idea

Yeah I know what you mean... I would love to see a game that goes into detail and respects physics. It could be done, the game would have to be "simultaneous turn", and your position would be more of a "Emperor" controlling the people that control your empire (i.e., you would have less control over the small details). The system could be dynamic (planets actually orbit the sun), and movement between planets would have to be planned (best orbit position, fuel supply, etc.). This extra detail would probally mean that the game would have far fewer systems, and more emphisis would be place on good habitial worlds (for the particular race: Gravity, Atmosphere composition/pressure, Terrain, Radiation, hostile weather/life, etc.) and the LONG process of terraforming.

I dream too (in color and surround sound!)
