Hi Folks,

I know I'm in the wrong place, but you need to start somewhere!

I'm interested in building a wargame, hex-based you-go I-go play by email. What engine should I be looking at? I would like a spherical projection since this will be a large game - WW2 Pacific strategic.

Cheers,
Guy

Not here. There are many threads about spherical worlds.

Spring doesn't really handle rectangular unit bases well.

No spherical projections here, hard luck. I never understand why anyone wants them...

If your map runs from Alaska to New Zealand then a flat map has huge distortions.
