[CF-Devel] Suggestion.

[Yann Chachkoff]

Just some thoughts about world random-generated maps...

1. I do not see clearly what would be the advantages of random-generated 
worldmaps. Of course, this may mean that we'll not have to make the 
long-waited larger worldmaps "by hand"; besides this, I do not understand.

2. On the other hand, I do see better random maps generation algorithms as a 
major progress - as long as it concerns only the current random maps system.

3. Technical question: do you plan to make a brand new generator subsystem, or 
integrate it into the current random_map engine ? I would prefer the second 
solution, as it would keep the code cleaner but that's just my opinion of 
course.

4. Suggestion: implementing map-generation algorithms in the editor. I think 
this could be quite interesting, since it could be of a more general purpose 
(if you want to make a new worldmap, start by generating one, and then 
customize it as you want).

5. Now for the weather system: good idea, although a decent weather system 
would require quite a lot of work and deep thinking before starting coding it 
(because of the great number of game parameters it could possibly 
need/affect).
