I am working on it.
I am thinking of this...
What if I have the city have one shot structure builders . These would build
according to strict ai things to make them work right.
For the player, maybe items could be utilized. The items would allow the player
to build any number of buildings they wish, once they become available...and of
course, if they can be afforded.
So the player would use the skills first, then switch to the items later to
build further buildings.
Hopefully that will work.
I wouldn’t mind the computer be able to build more then one of each building,
but I am not sure how to regulate that. I am thinking of maybe the minor
structures gain levels like the units will, and so able to produce output at
higher levels.
The supply wagon is a little tricky. It will not restore a point unless that
point is as low or lower then the skill restore flag. So if the restore
supplies is 20 straight up, the wagon willnot resupply until someone has 20
points to fill. I have it right now at 5d4 makinga range of 5 thru 20 which
helps a bit...
The wagon, once empty, can return to the city, or, I am thinking, a keep to
gain more resources to send out once more. I might give it levels too, allowing
it to move faster, and maybe perform minor things like a little minor healing
or getting a faster movement. I figured the keep would be perfect, and well
protected.
I think for the farm, maybe at higher levels it can a structure able to be hit
up for restocking supply wagons, or maybe a mercantile instead, since, that is
what they do.
The construction thing is doable to a certain point. It is just trying to
deal with the ai being not really able to handle the same level of real time
choices a human can handle. Heck, Siri cant handle real time sometimes, lol.
I don’t know. I will try to see what I can do with it.
Does the item thing sound all right?

It would be sad to lose some of those things because the AI can't use
them properly, they sound like they could make the game rather
interesting. I'm sure it'll be fun to play regardless though.

That's good to know! Hopefully there isn't an issue. There shouldn't
be, considering how basic it is but.

I will do that, but so far I haven’t run into any problems. I still have
to
test out just a few things but so far it works perfect.

Allan, send me a poke before you release this with any feedback on
that script, so I can fix any bugs you might find before I release it
to the public.
Please and thank you.

My resource ideas and building ideas are justnot going to work. The AI I
still just a bit too simple to have the ability to build more then one
building of the same kind. The whole engineer thing worked. I can send
out
these guys to build structures on special ground types, but it has to be
one
per each building, unless one can start a multitude of buildings.
The actual building process itself is a mess as well. I just don't think
I
can make it work and still make the thing any fun.
The good news is that being able to level up all units will be done
thru
effects. It is the same amount of work files, but it prevents the rare
problems of transforming clones that can happen. It is cery rare now,
but
it
still happens , especially if one just zips thru a round of feedback
like
I
do.
The sylvan elves are preety neat. They have special woodland/forest
bonuses,
thanks to monkey, and they feature some neat units. One is a tree ent
artillery unit, that can also do melee attacks.
Others are a mountain lion llight cavalry unit, and a giant eagle
heavy
cavalry unit that can drop rocks onto enemies, but can also attack
normally.
