Play the whole world sounds good but ...

[Chris G]

... how about the mapsize. Is that fixed or?

How big can it be in squares x squares. Will it really be suited to handle the whole world?

[SeaMonkey]

The whole world? Doubt it Chris, but perhaps the relevant theatres with an abstracted connection. Use your imagination...the sky is the limit.

I remember Hubert stating the map will be quite big.

This is a quote from the latest news on SC2.

Question:

So are you saying that I could even make an entire WW2 “whole world” campaign, too?

Hubert Carter:

YES!

[Hubert Cater]

I think this question really comes down to the potential scale you would like the world campaign (or any campaign for that matter) to represent.

With all unit characterstics editable, map and resource allocation editable, and a map size range from 32x32 to 256x256 there are a lot of possibilites from small theater maps to global sized maps in one form or another.

Hope this helps,

Hubert

Thanks for your answer Hubert!

I think this is the logical next step. Some things will need to be worked out. As it is now, at present scale, people may forget to move that crucial corps into Borneo while concentrating too much attention on Alaska. Moves will be missed. So the world map would have to be zoomed into halves. A western front and an Eastern front. Each front would be equal to the scale of SC as it is now. East would contain Japan/Eastern Russia and West US. West Front would be Euro/Russo/Atlantic. Moving troops from one front to another by an exit zone. Something like that.
