I have heard about some of the limitations being increased but what about the Place name limit? I know this one probly is not a top priority but as a designer I find this limit to be very inappropriate to the large map sizes. As I prefer to make my own maps whenever I do a large map I always find my self straining to get names for all the cities, and often leaves me haveing no names for rivers, seas, land regions. As I currently understand it there are 800 allotted for opart 300 witch means (If my math is correct) that a max size map of 300x300 map would have 90,000 hexes and that would mean 1 place name per 112.5 hexes. In my opinion at the very least this limit should be doubled if not tripled.

Maybe there should be:

OPART.exe
OPART300.exe
OPART3000.exe

Hello,

Another good game! I hope a remake is in the offing... the terrain types need to be improved, that is, increased in number...

Editors for terrain, unit and organization both for parameters and graphics would be a plus for any game... giving control to the user is what progams should do... also in this way its hard to overlook units, capabilities and limitations.
