Of Climates and Music

Yeah I know this thread could probably lurk elsewhere. But I am working on about 10 other projects right now... *sigh*

I was wondering, given all the work being done currently, would it be possible to add a new climate?

I'd like to see a mix of the Temperate, Artic, and desert. Low grassy areas would be Temperate, high areas would be snow-capped, and there'd always be the ability to have desert areas. This would combine the major industry types into the next versions and allow a much larger variety of games considering the new map-size.

The map re-write effort is very close to complete, very exciting, and I was wondering if the above would be possible.

Also, using a GPL project would it be possible to add different music types to the game? Something like http://sourceforge.net/projects/jajuk/ or similar? I'm a member of the Spring opensource RTS and we use about 5 other GPL projects.

Fantastic work all! Keep it up!

Regarding music, other music formats are available. See my patch. Nobody seems to care any more, though.

What is the link? I didn't see it in the download thread, unless I skipped over it. I'd love it if I had it. :P

Interesting...

Owen, man, I've known your name for so many years! Crazyness...

Anyway, I'm still wondering about the climate. With maps as big as they are, I'd love to see some sort of variety on one map. And doing that would allow the combination of industries.
