Re: What if maps were constantly lost/created?


My post was supposed to be the outlining of a problem with some example solutions, but then the solutions grew as I was putting them down and the whole thing ended up somewhat of a mess. I agree a map generator would probably be a disaster.

I think it was someone's mention of Warhammer 40k in the comments of the article I linked that started my train of thought. In 40k you can have huge crucial battles where one side gets decimated, but because the size of it's races are so immense, you can always be sure they'll pop up on some fringe of space even if they're thought to be extinct. By having an endless "edge" to Planetside's territories, those "meaningful" locations could be lost without the side getting completely eradicated.
