Intro Movie: Dynamic World Map Needed...

[Kundich]

So I'd like to think about a method to add a world-map to an intro, where a red color advances across portions of the map, much like a history documentary showing the gains of this conquering power or that.  Is there a good way to handle that?

In the alternative, is it possible to stick a movie format doing this same thing with the map into, say, a campaign PBO to play before the first mission of the campaign?  

I'm not actually sure where to start with this idea, so any feedback would be nice.  Heck, it may not even be feasible, but it'd be nice to for an understanding of the global situation prior to a campaign.  Does anyone have any ideas?


Thanks,
ADM
