You will probably get better advice concerning gameplay mechanics on the forums (http://forum.freeciv.org/). Here people would normally be more concerned about imple- mentation details and the like. Anyway, I think your proposal is interesting and I would welcome any contribution you can make. Just know that a feature like the one you describe would be rather complex to implement, not only in the new code that would have to be written but also in generalizing the existing code so that the current behaviour becomes a configurable subset of the new behaviour. That is to say, the current "civ2 style" rules should still be possible via the ruleset/effect system along with your new game rules. (Well, this is my own principle, so others may of course argue something different.) I do not know how skilled you are in programming and how familiar you are with the current codebase, so I would suggest that if the answer to either is not very, then start with something simpler so that you do not get discouraged banging your head against ugly ten year old code. ;) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 「いつ買い物に行きましょうか」「五日ならいいでしょうね」 _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
