Damnit! I've already decided I hate you for pointing out cases which I
didn't consider. Lucky for me, I'm not going for the perfectionist
approach! :P
It's more likely to be orientated around personal confrontations. I
shalln't send the players' squads to take out military. It's more covert,
so hopefully making interesting games of hide and seek with objectives
rather than seek & destroy. The worse outright confrontations I can
think of are base assaults and spaceship assaults. The meekest being
recce (You mission, should you decide to accept it is to find out what the
enemy is having for dinner).
My first task though, will be to try and work out a system of almost 3D
rooms but it doesn't need to be a super accurate... Having found out that
my original proposal of 200 x 200 squares consisting of 5x5m will not be
welcomed by Cold and some sort of heirarchy node system is preferred.
Life.
PS: Advance warning, if I find out I can't do what I want technically,
I'll probably abandon. This is just a side thing I'm doing for the hell
of it. :)
