Multi-layer maps

from Elemental Forums

Hi everyone. It makes me so happy to see Elemental being improved so quickly. Just shows how amazing Stardock really can be.

 

Anyway my question, and the reason I've posted in the 'Ideas' section, is would there be any chance of an ability to implement multiple maps being added to this game at any point? (i.e. CivII Test of Time). Even if it's something that Stardock has no plans for the base game, ir would be amazing to see it included there as an option for mods. With the Fantasy setting, there would be so many opportunities for interesting scenarios involving other worlds.

Multi-layer maps would be cool. In my opinion even necessary. I like the city building part, but i hate that after some time whole continents are clustered with huge cities. so large that a mounted army would need two seasons to get from one end to another.

with a Citymap where you can build your city as now, but just require one tile at the beginning. so till lvl 2 a city will use 1 tile (the small one), then lvl 3 and 4 will use a whole square and a lvl 5 city will use 4 squares (2x2). The cities would better fit into the scale and not just consume the whole space. special buildings like Fortresses can have an extra tile so you can see them from far.

Battle will carried out on a part of the city builded and not just on random map.
