Designer landzone options allow creation of balanced maps. Woot.

Without any hacky planet editor mods and custom servers. This is beautiful:




Downsides are:
Everyone will have 5 starting points.
Metal count is fixed to 5x4xPlayercount (could be lower due to conflicts with terrain)

But overall it allows for creation of starcraft-like expansions. Which is cool.

Now add upcoming symmetry to this...
Sorian is God.

Oh baby!
This is why I wanted a map editor function, and now we're getting to design our stuff, and it's beautiful.

Next up on @sorian 's schedule:

• balance
• proper per-planet multi-threading
• finishing the KS-commanders
• biomes 2.0
• Human Resources

We are sure you will be done with all that before Christmas, no pressure.
