I think that making the coating system work better would prove advantageous in the long run. Certain unit actions, like clearing or irrigating terrain, would make more sense and therefore be easier to program if the action more resembles the actual, physical act (i.e. removing the 'deciduous-forest' coating instead of changing the terrain from 'deciduous-forest' to 'plains'). The first major change I'd recommend for coating, though, is that it accept real images, and not the (ugly) transparent effect it has now. It would look about ten thousand times better. And in regard to napoleon.g, it seemed like the problem was with some unit images and not the weather code. Well, unit images and the incredibly ugly cloud effect that XConq uses... Okay, I admit it, I'm a graphics snob. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start. We finish. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
