Issues with Time: Combat through the ages.

Issues with Time: Combat through the ages.

[Henry J. Cobb]

Blimps should be added to the list of units that use ammo to attack and
their ammo supply should be cut down to 2 or 3.

Also transports should be allowed to carry up to 2 helicopters because in
the Postmodern era they do.  In exchange remove the capture ability of
helicopters because they carry infantry to make captures with.

Infantry should be cheaper to build than armor.

How much cheaper would you suggest? And why?

Also, did you ever figure out what more reasonable capture chances 
would be for the Galaxy 2 game?

Infantry production needs to be continued into the Postmodern era for
helicopter operations.  (And Calvary needs to be continued into Metros so
you've got something other than just infantry during this time.)

Perhaps have a best ground combatant cost of say 6 turns and the mix
changes and improves over time.  (Infantry and armor could both be at 6
and Cavalry at 8.)

The problem is sequencing rather that percentages.

The human player should not be allowed to just sit on his worlds and come
out and snipe as needed.

Perhaps allow the enemy ships to bombard the planets and eliminate the
ships that are parked on the landing field.

The battle for Taiwan

[Henry J. Cobb]

This would be a fun scenario to build someday.

Is there some option for delayed reinforcements so the American carriers
don't show up until the second month?

I haven't done much with reinforcements, but the mechanism to 
place specific units in specific places at certain times does 
exist. I believe that the Gettysburg game was mentioned as an 
example of this. If you are interested in building such a 
scenario, that may be one place to start.

Yes. See the Gettysburg game for an example.

Re: The battle for Taiwan

[Elijah Meeks]

A slightly more crude manner to achieve this is to
build seed units, which can lose a material every turn
and starves when it runs out of material.  By setting
its wreck-type to the unit you want (And changing the
see-chances so that it is not visible to any other
players), you can set the material to be your delay. 
You can even change the starve hp so that there's some
variable to its appearance (A .25 hp loss to a 1 hp
unit would then appear sometime during the 1-4+ turns
after running out of its timer material).

It's crude, like I said, but I like it.  If you want a
group to appear at the same time, just set the
detonation option for one unit and have it only blow
up the seed units.

And I'd love to see a battle for Taiwan scenario,
myself.

That's an interesting idea! To elaborate further on this theme, I guess one
could also use the wreck-unit code to upgrade rather than downgrade units,
perhaps as a way to simulate combat experience. Something similar to when
"great leaders" appear in Civ3 (a concept that plays a too big role in that
game, in my opinion).

Yeah, I've used a similar technique to introduce
random events in the new Opal.  I seed the world with
a number of independent units that have an accident
chance of 1% to be destroyed each turn, so
occasionally an independent pirate ship or bandit
fortress or hero or dragon will show up.  I like the
effect.

You guys are a bit twisted, IMO. :-)
Just use the existing auto-upgrade mechanism with an unseen unit 
that grows in size at the rate of one size point per turn (don't 
require any materials for the growth). Once the target size/turn 
is achieved, then auto-upgrade to a seen reinforcement unit.

Except that, if we do it your way, there is no variability in when the
units appear.  If you want barbarian invaders to start appearing at
random intervals but after at least 100 turns, you can add that
randomness by using Elijah's method.  Using your method, the barbarians
would all appear simultaneously.


I think that what Xconq should really have is a mechanism for generating
independent units that appear in random places at random times. 
Although in many cases, additional constraints would be required (it
would rarely make sense for a barbarian horde to spontaneously appear
adjacent to your capital city, for example).

In knights.g, or a derivative thereof, I might use such a mechanism to
cause monsters to appear semi-randomly.  Lowly monsters such as goblins
are pretty weak, and so could appear at any time without presenting an
overwhelming challenge.  A great red wyrm, on the other hand, could end
the game before it even begins if it appears before each side has at
least a few 20th-level knights.  And above all, such creatures should
never randomly appear within areas that have been explored by one or
more sides (since such areas are civilized and clear of monsters),
although a monster could randomly appear in an unexplored area and move
into an explored area.

I was proposing another way to address Henry Cobb's earlier question to 
the list, which as far as I could tell, did not involve variability in 
the turn of appearance. "My way" is essentially as twisted as the 
Meeks-Ronne Method, and it was proposed in jest. Using the existing 
mechanism ("appear", IIRC) is likely the best way to achieve what he wanted.

Yes, I am aware of that. I read his message.

For variability in the turn of appearance, Elijah's idea is quite novel 
and creative. Good thinking, Elijah.

I suggested that before (and not just for independent units), and I 
believe you were the one who assumed that I meant random unit types as 
well. The disucussion took place on the list last November or December, 
if I am correct in the rememberance.

IIRC, one thing I think I suggested to address this issue was starting 
zones (such as countries). In the case of indep units, one could require 
a minimum separation distance from any units belonging to a player side; 
or, at least, that has been my private thinking on the issue, wrt 
Wreckreation.

[xconq] My hacked up copy of time.g

[Henry J. Cobb]

I tried to send my current working copy of time.g, but it was blocked.

The file complains about the terran, but it does come out about right for me.

I play at level-1, Slow Progress against three mplayers all at level-5 and
the independents also at level-5 running iplayer.  (Why doesn't a saved
game remember the independents player?)

Two boats full of horses or one transport full of tanks or one loaded UFO
can really flip an industrial area.

My basic changes were to the terran generation, map size, blimp ammo,
extended production of cav and inf and some fiddling with the combat
tables.

I'm thinking about allowing cannon to stick around as long as inf with
fewer HPs but ranged fire and the power of AA batteries.

Perhaps it ended in .zip. I think those files are filtered out as possible
viruses. Posting of files to the lists is discouraged by RedHat, but not
yet banned, I think.

>The file complains about the terran, but it does come out about right for me.

I assume you mean terrain. Adding new terrain images to a game can be a
little tricky.

It should. However, indepside has its own read and write code for
historical reasons, so this may well be a bug. I will look into it.

If you feel ready for a greater challenge, there is the possibility of
writing an entirely new historical era. See the design notes for some ideas
that the original game writers had, but never implemented.

You could put the file inline in the message and post it to the list 
that way. Unless Redhat has lowered the message size limits, fairly 
sizable messages are allowed.

Also, people have attached games (*.g files) to messages and 
successfully posted them to the list. I don't know what the limit is on 
attachment sizes, but you might be able to slip it through that way.

I just fired up the game you attached.

The warning you are getting is because certain alt-percentiles or 
wet-percentiles are not completely covered. You will need to increase 
the percentile coverages for certain terrains until there are no gaps 
between percentile bands. Any gaps are being substituted with 
terrain-type 0, 'ocean', and so the world actually has too much water.

Where did you get the 'time.g' file that you hacked?

It is apparently an old file (over a month old), given that "/" is being 
used as the symbol for bases, instead of "_". It is over a month old, 
because, according to the ChangeLog, I last changed it on 2004/06/21 to 
make sure that there were no conflict with the GDL arithmetic operators 
that I just implemented:

2004-06-21  Eric McDonald

[ snipped ]

         * lib/time.g: Change "*" to "T". Change "/" to "_".
         * lib/wizard.g: Change "*" to "T".

Eric McDonald pointed me to an updated version of the file so I hacked
that with my unit and combat changes.

There does seem to be a bug with Battleship and Transport initial fuel.

The maximum abuse of the current capture and transport code can be seen
when a ufo with two mechs captures 16 cities a turn.

If you want to ensure that you always have the latest files, then I 
would strongly recommend that you use CVS. There is a text file called 
'INSTALL-win.txt' in which I give some pointers on how to go about that 
under Windows. Even if you don't intendto compile a fresh copy of Xconq 
from sources, you can still use CVS to get updates. Also, see:

If you want to improve aspects of the capture behavior, there are many 
things you can do with the existing GDL tables. These things do not 
require modifications to the Xconq sources. See the documentation on the 
'occupant-allows-capture-by' table and company, and the 'protection' and 
related tables.

They start out with zero fuel.

This bug appeared on June 26 and was fixed on July 3. What binaries are you

Those binaries were released on July 4, so it is possible that the fix from
July 3 didn't make it into them. You could tell from the ChangeLog.

In any case, that fix only addressed the possibility of newly created units
to siphon off materials from their creator. If you want units to have their
own initial fuel you must use the supply-on-completion table. In the Time
game, only cities have initial fuel. In many other games, all units start
out with a fuel supply. Perhaps this is how the Time game shoudl work as
well.

I do a CVS update prior to building new executables 
intended for distribution, and so it would seem unlikely that 
earlier changes would not have made it into them. In any case, 
they are certainly more up-to-date than the ones on the Xconq FTP 
server.

It was indeed a bug in the save/restore code. I have checked in a fix.
