I am trying to make a game/scenario in TOT where the earth is split into 4 seperate maps. I relised though, that simply walking off the edge of one map and appearing in the next one does not work. So what I am asking is, Is it possible to create this type of world? And if so, how is it possible? I want to have it so normal units, like tanks and marines can just travel from map to map. Basically I want just one gigantic map. Is this possible?

Yes it is possible. The problem comes in defining the map transport relionships thought. Since a unit moves from map to map
on the same coordinate it may well move from say the middle of russia to some where in england. The way around it is by just using starports to trans port units from map to map
and maybe giving ships native teleport ability sounds like an awful lot of work though.

No, I've already given all regular units that ability. But what is the difference between starports and the other ones? Once I realized that units come onto the new maps in the corresponding space, it ruined the project for me.

starports act like airports do, except they can transport units to any other city on any other other map that also has a starport

If you rename the Starports "Intercontinental Airports" you may be on to an easy (albeit limited) solution.

Well, that would be good for a Diplo game though. I guess this won't work. Didn't the ToT programmers think that maybe someone might want to do this with their "Awesome" linked map idea. God, they are so stupid sometimes.

It Can work. but it would take careful planning. I would suggest making your maps first and see what you come up with. I would be happy to help on this project.
