Well, what I'd like... No, not for crimson, it won't fit well here, but for some other project maybe. Have you ever played M.A.X. (not M.A.X.2)? It was strategy with ammo, different scan and weapon ranges, resource transportation, racial traits, base building and some technology improvements. And a strange system - it was turn-based, but all players made their movements simultaneously during turn, and waited for everyone (with some timeout possibly) when they've finished. It was fun, and I'd like to see something like this again. > I hope many experienced people will detect and remove all design flaws > before they become machine code :-) or even source code ;) Torinthiel -- Waclaw "Torinthiel" Schiller GG#: 542916, 3073512 torinthiel(at)megapolis(dot)pl gpg: 0906A2CE fpr: EE3E DFB4 C4D6 E22E 8999 D714 7CEB CDDC 0906 A2CE "No classmates may be used during this examination"
