A game idea I had in mind

Yeah Foxbat, I was actually thinking it reminded me somewhat f Black and white, but I declined to mention it bc I never played it extensivey, just a little bit @ my friends. Maybe this is just one of the inspirations of Thrashers new game.

@ Thrasher: What is this game titled?

Now correct me if I am wrong, but it seems you have complete control over your citizens. What they hunt what gender they are etc. This would be great in the ancient times, but I bleieve it could get tedious after you accumulate more cities and hence, more citizens to control. I could be wrong on this assessment tho, so correct me if I am.

The sex eahch citizen turns out to be is based on what type of work the first do. After that establishment that's it. It just felt like a natural addative to throw that in there. You don't have to controle it unless you'd like to for whatever theme.

THE OTHER DIMENSION

[Thrasher]

According to my dad, who has many(+20) years experience in programming, just the tile aspect alone, the game requires plus 7 billion terra bytes of memory, to define a map world.
The world is basically made up of tiles. And the smallest base tile is reffered to as a pace(step), That can only ever be occupied by one object, and have a ground type with properties.
There are 60 paces in a dash.
20 dashes in a league.
5 leagues in a district.
and three districts to a tile.
Then square all the numbers.
Using 8 bit integers and instead of using a map with 1000 by 1000 tiles of districts.
Just use 256 districts squared to make the map smaller. I was wondering if any one might be able to relate to that or shed insight. My programming skills and experience include getting to about the third chapter in java and using java applets, until I said fuk it. I'd like to get back into programming, to develope it as a skill.
