[crossfire] Release proposal

[Robert Brockway]

Sounds exciting.

About 18 months ago I sparked a discussion about an expanded Crossfire 
world I was developing.  Well I went away and did that but wasn't willing 
to host it on a VPS (Linode, Digital Ocean) as the size of the world made 
this quite expensive.  So I decided to wait until until my home was 
connected to the Australian National Broadband Network (NBN).  Well that's 
happening on June 29.  So, sometime in the next few weeks I'll launch the 
expanded world running on my NBN link.  I'll update my expanded world with 
the new release before going live with it.

The expanded world is 1000x1000 maps with the 'old world' (original world 
maps) positioned dead centre at 485-514 on each axis.

As much as possible I've been automating the world building.  I hope it 
offers different game play to keep people interested.

Cheers,

Rob
