[OHM] additional map tilesets - which ones do you want to see?

[Jeff Meyer]

Tim - this is a great question!

Are these filters for specific years or for ranges? If years, which years
did you have in mind?

It might be cool to have at least two more:
1) One that's even prior to the Roman time frame - maybe 500 BC? Greek
Empire / Zhou Dynasty / Mayans / Persian Empire opportunities there
2) One that's somewhere between Roman times and the 19th Century - maybe
1066?

- Jeff
