Let me say WOW. This is awesome. I'm really really really impressed. I cannot wait to keep getting new versions of this game. Really great job on it!
One question, I've only played once, but I've noticed that the maps are very small compared to the type of terrain you had to scale in x-com. Why is that? Can the engine not handle bigger?
Also, I read something about a random map generator, does that happen live while you're playing, or is this just a random map gen for aiding in creating a new map when editing?
