Wouldn't it be cool!?
-The Settlers map mirrors the actual Earth map.
-Users start out as citizens of the country that corresponds to the location of their ip address.
-The terrain and available buildings mirror what we actually find here on Earth.
-Real estate expenses (rent / mortgages / sales) apply.
Plus, it'll give the 60+ lvl players something else to do.
The Settlers... come to life.
