>Can we remove the forbidden flags abilities from the engine ?Or does 
anyone thinks there will be a future use of the feature ?

Well, forbiden areas are more important, but i dont see why we should 
remove forbidden flags. Of course only it this causes a lot of bugs, if 
not i think they don't bother.   INstead i have an intresting idea.  All 
the flegs are just round, like a circle.  if we could shape the flag. 
Like we shape the forbidden areas, we could just make a flag with a 
shape, eventualy be albe to turn him 90degrees left or 90degrees 
right.   that way we can make forbidden aread look like flags, that we 
can move easily.  We can also make some predefined shapes of flag. 

  I think this idea is great, because it will completly eliminate the 
need of forbidden areas that are stuck and that you can't move.   We 
could alva have a buttton activate/dezactivate wiew of flags, so that 
when we activatre the flags, we see the flags, when we dont activate 
them  we dont see them, but only the forbidden area.  actualy we could 
activate or dezactivate both the flags and the forbiden area,   it is 
important to do that becaue i dont want to see the forbidden flags, i 
just want to see the forbiden area.   Also the shape of a forbiden flag 
could just be anythink, not neccesary a closed shape, but also a lot of 
little forbiden ceses not connected.

 In respose to your question, no, i think we should rather improve the 
forbiden flags and  eliminate the forbiden area by integrating it to the 
forbiden flags...

  This is right in the philosophy of  this game (asingning little tasks 
to the units.... dont loose time editing forbiden areas....).  If we 
have to reshape a particular form of forbiden area each time we nead to 
protect our resources, then we loose a crazy time doing that. For 
example, i like doing little dots to preserve some resources here and 
ther when there are very few resources.  The idea in this game is to 
minimize the little tesks like this.  A flag with this  model on it 
could be edited and i just put it on the map then make him invisible.  
this way i only edit it once and then i save it on the hard disk and i 
can use it in every map.  The same think could apply to the flag that 
destroy resources.   also to the war flag but there is not so important 
nead of that...

 So what do you think, is it possbile to make this improvement?
