Hi Martin

This is perfectly off topic so please put it elsewhere.

Greetings, Leo Wandersleb

P.S.: places are wiki (wish list), the bug tracker as wish bugs or a new thread 
here what i consider as the worst solution as i don't want them to get lost and 
i'm sure nobody will grab them and implement right now.

FEATURE!!!!
Nevertheless it should be optional to the editor to choose among torus, pipe 
and square.
this would ave implications on pathfinding as max distances can double.

make bigger maps. 512x512 is really huge.
these maps would only make sense with more than 2 players if you don't want to 
play for hours.
most PCs struggle hard with these maps as playing them takes more than 1GB of 
ram (due to some bug i guess).

good idea but conceptually not clear. a control to place walls more easily 
would be needed, too.

I'm as confused as Cyrille.
