I imagine a counter strike scenario where the area of engagement is constantly moving throughout this infinite city, so the fight is waged over a constantly changing landscape. Hecka fun or hecka confusing?!

Are the combatants channelled into the same area? If not you end up with a game of “needle in the (forever growing) haystack”.

It would have to work somewhat like PUBG - people caught outside a given area slowly start to bleed health. (Or for bonus fun, are catapulted towards the center of the current combat area.)

Careful design of the "tiles" and some restriction to the play area could go a long way to make a "fun" map that is still hugely random.

As someone who already has an abysmal sense of direction (I basically never play 3D games because I'm just always lost), this is my nightmare.

This is tectonic. If it's purely WFC, I'm really amazed and excited. It's not the novelty, it's the perfection of each. They remind me of the Laurentian library by Michelangelo. https://goo.gl/images/HHQLUv https://goo.gl/images/njGNLC Would love to see the output using Gothic architecture as the input.
