    Vernam7, congratulations with your studies MCPD, it sounds a significant new qualification for you:
    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/mcpd.aspx

    When do you hope to achieve this qualification and what will it allow you to do more of? I know you already have dot NET skills.

    My world is one of music at the moment, having performed three Edith Piaf numbers in the city on Tuesday 19 June 2012, street performer (not busking):

    La Vie En Rose - Edith Piaf
    Tu Es Partout - Edith Piaf
    Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien - Edith Piaf

    As the music for "Tu Es Partout" doesn't exist, I had to compose that. That is the "famous" song from Saving Private Ryan.

    I am presently learning, La Foule and Padam Padam ... funny that I can sing in French but can't actually speak it!

    I changed all the "he" to "she" and love songs are love songs.

    diogoesmenio, I look forward to your reply when you are ready. The map isn't playable at this stage, I haven't set the player properties or defined pathing (eg where units can and cannot go).

    Basically I am waiting for your feedback as to what triggers you want to put where and where units will likely move. Best to open up a graphics program and draw onto a screenshot of the map. I use Paint.NET

    Then we can discuss such, I can make the graphics updates, and you can have another look at the triggers and the like.

    Oh and ... Atlantis, there is a hypothesis that this story by Plato is based upon the events of Minoa:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_eruption

    Fitting that a Greek (Vernam7) originated the concept of this map. I am part Viking (Nord/Germanic) and Med (Roman/Greek) in DNA. So "invisible" among such populations. I consider myself Western European though ... even though I grew up and live in Australia.

    Minoan/Atlantis all very interesting ... perhaps a proto-Greek culture, they were certainly very advanced for their time, but lost their civilization to a tsunami. Vernam7 and I may have ancestors connected to them!!!

    As this map is "Atlantis Terrainis", eg the "Atlantis" of the "Terran", hence the player being Terran in the middle of the map, perhaps a two hour game timer to "win" before a tsunami flood comes and the game ends?

    This could be quite spectacular depending on the triggers. There is the possibility of me creating a short video, like games do with cut-shots and music depicting the end, people running and screaming. I can do all that. This can be used as a promo for the map.

    I think just take your time and a guide to have fun with this. I work pretty intensely, it is actually fun for me ... a very higher achiever in all areas of my life.

    I look forward to our work progressing for an end year release that will make a "splash" ... sorry! :P (humor attempt)

    PS

    When you are ready, please upload the map to a secure location and also a screenshot with changes in geography you wish to discuss.

    Then after agreement, I can update that map, upload it, and you can continue to develop your triggers and ideas.

    So we will be working on a single map, alternating. It doesn't take me long to make small changes.

    The final painting and artistic rendering with doodads will take a lot of time, maybe two weeks.
