The main immediate focus for me is to finish the three remaining playable races in addition to some improvements to the Ancients. I'll start on that once 0.10.0.0 is out of beta (sometime Jan).

That said, I do want to add quite a few overworld map features. My vision is to have it feel like you're building up some sort of kingdom or state. And, from that, you'd be able to create relationships with neighboring factions. I'd like to add several options where you could send out diplomats, scouts, raiding parties, settlers to start towns, and so on. Now, I'm not promising those things for 1.0.0.0, but I would like to add a bit more to the map before 1.0 is done, and then continue adding to it in following updates.
