Things to keep in mind while designing/coding
A few things to keep in mind I've thought of:
-Don't lock-in things to terrain types, including even such things as Citys. It's nothing that's going to be addressed anytime soon, but it'd be good to keep in mind the possibility of Sea/Ocean colonization alla CTP.
Wouldn't want to create troubles in the future needlessly
-Possibility of multiple layers of map. No support needed for it any time soon, but oh the things that could be done with it.
Just to name 4: Outer Space, Underground/Caverns, Other-world activity, "jump" map (such as jumping/teleporting from europe to america or america to middle east, for example, without having to draw out all the map that comes in between).
As the thread says, just something to keep in mind to avoid locking into something.
-"Ethos" to be added over/replace Ethnic Groups. Might already be possible by just recreating/altering the ethnic groups, but the idea is to allow representation of differing beliefs that aren't so much based upon race.
This might also be handled in the religion model, now that I think about it. But maybe not quite...
I was thinking along the line of things like Conservative/Liberal in america, Tory/Wig/Labour/Green in the UK, etc - but not neccessarily political in nature either. (Doubt I'm explaining this very well ) No idea what that'd be covered under.
That's all I was thinking of for now.
Feel free to add any miscelaneous thoughts here that don't really affect anything concretely or immediatly, but are good things to think about/keep in mind.
