Good day, SK is great game (potentially ) and I want to support your quest to create strategy game that will dwarf them all!

First of all, I found small bug at map generator:

I really love to implement different semi-random generators algorithms, so if I could be helpful..

Also, I have read it couple of weeks ago, but didn't find this thread. You were speaking about the way SK looks and how to make it to look different from previous game.

Well, except for obvious look alike interface and some art, one of the problems is the font. It is really Elemental's font.
Maybe, if you experement with font, along with other changes, it would help.
