Engine Research

I've been in full-on engine research mode since the Kickstarter ended. Up to this point it's been mostly high-level engine design type stuff. William (main architect of the engine) and I have spent a decent amount of time hashing out different architecture stuff. For example how are we going to handle implementing the UI and support UI modding? What do the servers look like? How do we handle replays and savegames? How are units and orders represented? Coordinate spaces? Unit ids? Etc. I've mainly been concentrating on the graphics side. Putting together all of the pieces and finalizing the design goals. I have a fairly plausible complete plan at the moment for everything with appropriate fallbacks. As I get happy with the implementation I'll talk more about the details of this stuff.
