A thought just struck me <blam> :)) The sun doesn't just provide light, it provides heat, and if a part of the world is in darkness for 6 months, you're either going to have every part of the world which ends up completely frozen for about 4 months, unless you can think of some way of solving this, like a complex system of underground geysers or a highly active tectonic system to release heat. Might add complexity to the program, unless you want to just create some new physics or something and make heat and light separate, for easiness. Also, would it be too off the wall to assume that, If Majik is a Globe, then the map could be considered to be 1/4 or the surface. Looking at the terrains, it certainly appears that the Mals to the North are kind of arctic, and the terrain gets more equatorial to the South. If this was true, it could mean that during the game the world could be expanded by 300%, and if that ran out we could always think of some magic to make more space :))) I don't think that space is something we're going to run out of soon, but it does need considering.
