New Map Making Feature - Map Image Swapping

[chanakam2020]

Concise description:

• Change map image in the middle of game

Specifics/Details:

• I am suggesting to implement XML or map mechanism which allow to change map images in the middle of games
• Map image change may happen after each players turn or depending on some player take or hold some codition
• Example 1: Think About a Darknor - Level 2 map where arrows direction change after each players turn
• Example 2: Think About a fancy map where map changes to a different one when a player take specific location on map such as Throne which symbolize a regime change and change of rules & everything in the country

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• 1. More fun maps
• 2. New type of game play.
• 3. New Stratergies
• 4. New type of tournaments
• 5. New Medals
• 6. More new players attract to site
• 7. Site revenue increase
• 8. Site owners happy
• 9. Site owners invest more capital to site improvements
• 10. Site will get more and more improvements
• 11. Playes will be happy
• 12. Go to above 6. and cycle repeat again

I’m pretty sure this already exists

Where ?
There is no map working the way I suggested.
And
Currently avilable XML <transform> thing which has not yet used in any map is not doing this thing I suggested.
It do some different thing.

Ah ok transformation is what I was thinking even tho it hasn’t been used it exists and I thought it was accomplishing the goal

No transforms are basically conditional auto-deploy/decay can only change the size of the stack not ownership or other gameplay.

I have a few maps with transforms on the beta site that I am hoping to migrate to the live site by the end of this year

would the transformation be random? or would it be a set feature of the map that can be planned for?

Which transform feature you are asking about ?
The one I suggested above or ?
about the one plurple telling above ?

Well I think the feature I am suggesting should have another name than "Transform" as there is already a different feature with that name.
So I thing better name for my suggestion would be "Map Image swap"

There was a feature that is talked about in the map foundry called stages. That is similar to this but I don't know much about it and do not believe the code exists for it anymore. I don't know if it was just a feature that was planned and never got off the ground or if over the years the code got lost and vanished.
