Heard about Nirvanas' bassist shot at politics? (sorry, off topic) or is it? yeah it is.. ok, I'm done.

Tread Marks is something of an acquired taste, whether it's the level of chaos and lack of sites... basically a combination of a number of small things that we'd definitely do differently. And as many of you recall, we made Tread Marks in a year under the dark-cloud of Seumas' deteriorating health (which he kept to himself)... A number of changes would likely have been made before final release...but that is history now. Things such as the servers not detecting and updating player copies has been a problem... The version 5 game not being supported by our servers... etc., etc. ...much of which has been discussed over the years.

We should probably have a more technically accurate mode for tank combat.... all design issues it would be nice to consider and implement in some future spin-off of TM.

Our new landscape engine has some cool features which should get us some attention when we start showing it.

It's based on dem-data of the Aegean region and will Zoom-out to view an area of 100,000 square kilometers, perfect for making strategic decisions; and then smoothly zoom-in to view a single kilometer of map, great for battle viewing. To make this unprecedented level of real-time zoom possible, the engine generates one giant 3D map covering a million square kilometers... using procedural methods to keep it around 50 megs in size, instead of the 300+ megs it would take up with more conventional game mapping systems.
