Here is the progress i made today,

Some work on the world map tiles and Iv started adding a control to the gui that lets you move the map, so you will be able to use either the mouse or keyboard.

Tomorrow I will start to add all the new tiles to the game and also continue working on some new buildings.

The world map starts to look as I want it. Still need to add some mountains and other stuff to get more variation to the map. But something like this  The grass will expand as new cities get built and you will be able to interact with the diffrent cities using the mouse.

I will also be adding random rocks and such to the dirtground, this is how it looks this far:

Hello

We made some progress on the world map, here is a screenshot of the city map/world map and also the diffrent world map tiles (more will be added later). here is a list of the diffrent tiles:

• Row 1-2: City tile, this shows that a player has a city on the tile, depending on how big the city is the tile will change.
• Row 3: This is the marker, this shows when you are holding the mouse over a tile
• Row 4: This shows that the player city is one of your allied.
• Row 5: This marks citys that are your enemys
• Row 6: This shows player citys that are in a alliance that are in peace with your alliance
• Row 7-9: This are some explotion effects, when a city is attacked by bombs you will be able to see it on the world map.
• Row 10: This is a protection shield you will be able to build when you reached the higher levels of your techstatus.

We will try to put up a demo soon where you can test out both the city map and world map live.

Here is a demo of the engine so you can see how it works. You can only build one type of building and this demo dossn’t include any GUI, just the bitmapengine. Move your mouse over the map area and when all tiles under your building turns green, click to place a building on the map. When you click the map a new random building will be selected for you. To create a new city just refresh the page.

We are currently working on the world map and will add another demo with more functions later.

NOTE. This is a striped version of the engine just to show something. In the finished engine you will see the buildings be built when you click the map, you will be able to move the map using your keyboard, etc. The map area you see IS NOT the size of your city, you will be able to have hundreds of buildings later.

Just to give you more of a feeling here is a screenshot with the GUI border and engine:

Here is some of the tiles we will use on the world map. They may not look like much but looks kinda cool when added to the game engine. All the effect tiles are animated.

Here is a image from our engine, roads and grass is added automatic when you build something. The smoke shown on some buildings is animated! We will be able to post a demo soon that you will be able to try. We just need to fix some minor stuff.

(The graphics may change in the final version)
