This seems to be the best solution given what I know about game design in Xconq, as it provides more latitude with the graphics, naming and capability of such units with the only drawback being an unusually large unit list. > It seems like it would be simple enough to make the > tcltk interface show > a checkbox that restricts the "Build" panel to only > show available > units, but I don't know.

I don't see any reason for the build list to ever contain every possible unit that can be built by every possible unit, you've got the Designer for that. > > > > > Also, does Xconq have a hotseat mode? > > Uhhh...what's a "hotseat" mode? > A multi-player sequential game where the game is played on the same computer, with each player taking turns controlling his own units. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
