First , thanks to the Devs for adding wide screen resolutions in the last patch.
MA is a great game and to me, one of the most enjoyable part is to play in hotseat mode with a friend. In fact, we play it "coldseat" [... our allies arent secret in other words :]
The problem is that there's only 1 verry small map and 3 small ones available to MA owners. Often we prefer to play a short and fast map... and always playing Bizarria gets boring.
To my knowledge, playing MAN maps in hotseat mode is not possible and even if it were, the subscription model is not adapted/acceptable for "hotseat only" players.
Why not creating new maps set available for hotseat ? I'm quite sure that creating a map for hotseat mode doesnt take more than one man-day work.
Or simply, selling MAN map set to MA players.
Personnaly i wouldnt mind paying 10-15$ for 5 verry small and 5 small maps compatible with hotseat.
Of course, the best would be the ability for users to create their own maps, although i read that Dev's are using Maya + Photoshop + custom tools for map design... A small question : are 3ds max and maya format totally different ? Cause using the free Gmax + photoshop + custom tools wouldnt be an obstacle to MA enthusiasts i guess... no need for a dedicated tool. I'm not a specialist so don't flame me if this suggestion is totally stupid
I hope something will be done to enrich "hotseat players" experience, and im quite sure this could be done easily from the commercial or development side of MA team.
Finaly, sorry for my poor english
