Just to let you know, it is going to be tomorrow, not tonight. :)

EDIT: Well, I finished it. But I'm starting to have second thoughts about the special features I was planning on adding...

My original plan was to have different passages that opened and closed (via terrain changes) every few turns, but as I created the map, it was turning out better than I had expected, so now I'm thinking about just trying to make it actually balanced... what do you think?

I think I'm going to start a thread in "MP Development" to get some more feedback on making it balanced. (I don't want to derail your thread into a gallery for my maps. :wink: )
I might also make a special version with the changing terrain, as well. :)

Balanced =/= symmetrical. :?
I know it's unbalanced, particularly in favor of the knalgans and player 1. The map's thread in the "MP Development" forum is where I'm working on trying to balance it... :)

Hey guys,

With the new projects on my hands and life not treating me that well (lol), I've putting this on haitus. In fact, if any one of you want to take over this project, pm me and I'll send you the files. I see a couple of you have ideas and want to use them in the era. This is your chance; if you want them implemented that badly, take over the project and fix it! I'll be here to help occaisonally and there are a lot of WML experts out there. So don't be afraid!

Well anyways, end of announcement. Thanks.

Well... this thread like diying.

There should be an other era of Spam era what your leader is a lv3 unit of your spawm, and you can do the lv1 and lv2 spamming of your favorite unit.

That, should be interesting.

Well, don't look at me. If you read above, I won't be working on this, at least for the time being. If you want that, do you want to take over the project? It's perfectly fine with me. I'll still be around, so...

Hmmmmm.... ok...

But, I dont know anything of WML, but, I can make special maps (balanced for spamming era). I should need some help in the others parts what aren't the maps.

I do this to the project don't dies. Maybe, I learn something with this ;)

Well, sure. I'll pm you the files tonight, because I'm on my iPod now. I can help you you with the WML, but I won't be able to code it all for you.

OK.

I will do only some maps for the era, after you add them in your era. I will make newer maps in each period of time if I'm right (don't forgetting to update some olders)

Wait wait wait, I'm not working on this project anymore. Sure you can make maps, maybe I might be able to find some time to code it in, but I'm not going to maintain this. It's best if you (or anybody else if you don't want to) can maintain this, and do whatever they want.

Does this even need a maintainer? There's not really much to add now.
