Default Re: Exiting units off the map

Hello.
The direction of East-West, North-South is easier to design with if you remember that the games must be made to play out as left to right or right to left.
This way you can rename either side of the map to be N-S or E-W.
The other day I was completing bitmap images [1600] for a very large battle. Since the Chlanda program allows you to draw a map from an image for SP. This means that I can take a map, scan it, cut it up, then make the spmap in seconds.
Since the maps originate in bmp form I can rotate any town or hill or map section.
After I rotate it, the game map is in the familiar left to right or right to left format of SP.
It is neat since this means that you can attack from any direction in the real world's N-S, E-W but still have it look like the usual SP maps. Afterall, this is much like the days when we played cardboard games and could only fit the map on the table in one direction. Of course we could sit in different spots, much like the SP maps.
