it has been eluded to that it wold be good to hav spase batles in SMAC II i like this but the interface wold be triky.
the reson that im starting this isthat i waqnt a altitud controle and i belev that if the programers hav some ider of gowwq it the interfacve cold look to the gamer thay may be morlikly to go to the truble of righting it.
the simplest way wold be to asign 10 lecles of alititud and hav units in each levl, arias of controle wold work on simaler prinsaples bases colect resoses in each square ubove ain a sfer rather than a sircal.
the problem withe this aproch is is is not visualy convinsing.
a mor sensationalist aproch wold be to be able to vew the world in 3d with mor levles of altiude and the ability to rotate the map in 3 directions this is ofcos hader to right and probably requiers a 3d vidyo card.
the problem with ether modle is that the moniter is 2D. wen you clic on a unit and clik wer you want to mov it wich livl of altitud is it going to move to it wold haceto bring up a second desision box asking wer you want to move it to (easyer withethe first modl) dose anyone hav any ider on how to stremline this proses.
