DepressivesBrotYes, but it will take time. Lots of time.
I apologize if I'm intruding in any way since I know that the transition to big maps in AIMNAS has been a touchy issue.
However, has any thought been given to outsourcing some of the map making?
I assume smeagol already has a some kind of vision how the rest of the maps should look and play. If that outline was given to some volunteering map makers and they were assigned sector(s) to work on, this could ease the workload considerably. Smeagol of course would do the final quality control and probably would want to make the important maps from scratch himself. Also, the agreement would not give any guarantees that the outsourced work would actually be used in the coming versions of AIMNAS but I think most people would be fine with it. Some "auditioning" might be wise as well so total hacks like me weren't given too difficult assignments (if any at all)
There's obviously the problem of people going MIA or bailing out, but since the whole strategic map isn't fully playable anyway, it shouldn't slow the mod development down that much, if any at all. Even if some of the maps weren't finished as promised or were too shoddy to publisize as they were - they might still be partly usable by smeagol or at least offer him some ideas.
I think there would be interest in this since many of us like to fiddle with maps and stuff but making a full mod is a bit too much (and beyond capabilites of most). Also, there has been and is huge interest in AIMNAS in general and many people would like to see it in a more finished state rather sooner than later so they could play a full(er) campaign. As it has been said many times, AIMNAS has become a somewhat "standard" way of playing JA2 and it would really be a shame if the mod development dies slowly down since smeagol understandably has more important things to do with his time than create new stuff for the greedy masses - alone.
