Ag is without doubt the greatest game for the PPC ever. Thanks Carpe & co.

A longshot: Will there ever be multiplayer functionality? That would be the bomb!!

Generating random maps would be difficult, because the game isn't tile based. It could be done, but it would involve the game drawing a bunch of pictures to represent the map. What if it generated a map where there was no way to access part of it?

I think there will be tons of user-made maps anyway, since it is very simple to make them: you just draw an overhead view of the map in photoshop, make another drawing showing elevations, and another showing where units can and can't go. Then you open it up with ArgMap, place the start location, place some starting units, edit various settings if you want.

Capre, you are going to make a warcraft/starcraft style "custom scenario" mode, aren't you? You know, where you and the computer both start out with just a command center, and build up armies and fight. That would be easy to program, and it would be awesome! Kind of like the "deathmatch" mode in Snails as opposed to the missions mode..

Very cool. Let me get this straight then, you just create an image with a top down view of the map, and Argentum will take its height map and create the 3d landscape out of it?

So Carpe do you plan on throwing in a skirmish mode? You got to man, because that would add a LOT of lasting factor to the game and it would make a bunch of people more interested in the game because many people just like to skirmish and don't even play missions. Skirmish would also add a great amount of strategies to the game. If you added a multiplayer on there too, let's just say a game better then argentum won't be something you'll hear any time soon. I'm not saying the game is not bad at all right now, because at its stage right now, it is still the best ppc game I've ever played. I'm just telling you that such a good game with a few added features can make it possibly one of the best games any of us will ever see on the pocket pc.
