Interesting links about realtime multiplayer

This game will never be realtime, but I'm seriously considering making future games realtime.

These links were the first that actually made me understand how that would work (and make me semi-confident I could pull it off :p)

Also, interesting links about generating backstory/history and random 2D city layouts:

• https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/86234/using-l-systems-to-procedurally-generate-cities
• https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/31877/how-do-history-generation-algorithms-work

Also, links about random generation in general (from that GDC talk): https://galaxykate0.tumblr.com/post/139774965871/so-you-want-to-build-a-generator

This game has a nice art style for the map (and logo), which might be good for my own pirate maps/theme: https://store.steampowered.com/app/318600/The_Flame_in_the_Flood/
