As some you already know I like to see some more strategic value in
Crimson Fields too, but on the other hand we can't change too much at
once and quick shots are rarely good.

To collect good ideas and optimize them I started a Programming Guide in
the Crimson Wiki. One part of it are future concepts. You are invited to
review my ideas and put in your own. And maybe one of them become part
of Crimson Fields in near future.

I hope many experienced people will detect and remove all design flaws
before they become machine code :-)
