I have a book, it's just really hard going, if anyone has links to online stuff, that'd be much appreciated.

Just wondering Caddi do you have much programming experience?? (yet)
C++ is not too fun to learn (unlike Java or Python) but you should use DevC++ to try it out as its a fairly nice one. JCreatorPro (or LE for free!) though (for Java) is much much nicer as it will actually tell you what the $#@! is wrong more clearly, if only there was a C++ equivalent (for cheapness). Mabye Borland... but that scares me.

i'm using dev c++.
i can already code in perl/cgi.
and yeah i agree c++ is a hard language to learn.
the book i'm using is accelerated C++!

Java is much more friendly to learn in with.
Also if you want free programming help stuff then try and look at universities where the lecturers don't protect thier data like
www.cs.nott.ac.uk/Teaching/G51PRG
or
www.cs.birmingham.ac.uk etc...

Something I just thought off: Instead of having build sites, pasage ways and strategical points set out before you generate the map, you could create a very bumpy map, then create locations for building and alephs. Next, generate a number of paths (preferably 2 or 3) from each point to another (bend them a litle for realism. You should be able to use brezier curves for that), and then use those paths to carve a real path. Lastly, flatten and blur the aleph locations and build spots. And you're set.

here a few ideas, make it impossable to go from one alps to another if you are a footman, two only certain vehicals can travel between alps (call it a fuel problem.) and three have a moble base, it will bring back the idea of people HAVING to depend on their commander. oh and make sure you keep the telaporters.
on a few idea of heat certain areas make you show up better on a heat seaking radar, like trying to mask yourself in a cold area will be harder then trying to mask yourself on a cold area, but that can have a few good things, a sound radar you could lay down in the snow and the sound radar would not dectect you because you are leveled out with the snow and ECT....

Any chance that maybe one of the maps could be of a deserted town or village or even a City? ( in alien style of course) The city could limit off some vehicles because of roads and paths being blocks, and Air vehicles only given to people can fly them really well through the buildings etc
