Hi Wildfire Team!
So today played some 0 A.D. and thought up something. How about that when/if you make bigger maps like really huge maps, put a phase called like "Empire" or "Capitol" phase or something and with that you could acces a bigger map like first with the town phase you maximum can have a like 4x4 map but with the "Empire" phase you'd acces a map on what other players are playing on simoltaniously with you and if you are allied with that dude/lady or playing the same nation you'd share resources and all and "get rights" to trade with each other.
Just some thoughts, If already in development or planned, i think it'd be a great addition to the game.
Thanks for reading-MayaPepe
