actually, I'm doing this within my mud. Players are designing the various racial themes,
and designing the estate structures around that theme, including resources, products,
effects, etc. They are givin a terrain map, and when I get the design evolved a bit more,
they'll be placed in a large overland map to interact how they feel. As long as the
system is balanced and stable, I predict that basically they will write the "history" on
their own...at least, it sounds good in theory!
