MEGALITH is just about all that it can be. My single minded purpose of building a Stonehenge reconstruction based on the original Neolithic design and putting a playable map space around it has worked. Whether you like the map and it's effects on game play or not, it functions appropriately. Whether it makes it into matchmaking or not will depend on the rule set given to the Community Cartographer (CC) reps. They don't even have it as of my writing but soon will, they've been told.

Some would say "good enough" is a lazy person's perfect result. In this case of mine, it is my term for capitulation to issues mostly beyond my control. I am still "Forging" forward but I admit I am pushing an imperfect product.

As mentioned in my last Blog, MEGALITH (v0.4) exhibited serious frame-rate issues during a 3 way split screen custom game.

Those who have followed my Blog on the Stonehenge reconstruction within MEGALITH might understand I have no intention of changing it for arbitrary reasons. It is what it is. The remaining parts of the map are somewhat open to change. I say somewhat because I am extremely close minded about making changes that I didn't think of myself. I am prideful about being able to call this "my map". Yeah, I have faults.

The road to matchmaking might only lead to a Community Cartographers dumpsite. We shall see.

The initial Stonehenge reconstruction effort is over! For your viewing pleasure I give you MEGALITH!

The reconstruction phase is nearing completion. I managed to fill the lintel gaps on top of the outer wall and erect the inner concentric circle of stones known as Bluestones.

Today I took a break away from trying to show how I might be as smart as Neolithic man. In fact, I seem to continue to prove I am not. The Stonehenge solution I showed in the last Blog is only part of the more extensive requirements and it had errors in its description. If any of you tried to follow it, God help you. It might have helped a little bit though. I'll revisit it better in another Blog. If you are not here to read about it, that would be no surprise to me.

How long before Neolithic man did societies understand principles of geometry? I'm not going to look it up. It was long before Stonehenge was envisioned. It sparks the imagination doesn't it.

After I got past one video tip from "Anthony Johnson 2008" I had to start guessing.

Behold! The Great Trilithon has risen again from it's ancient resting place.
