Quick questions:

1. In the diplomacy files, what is the format for the following functions:
ConsiderResponse()
ConsiderMotivation()
Also, what priority should I set, if I want the AI to make this proposal GUARANTEED?

2. I cannot make the event
MovePathOrder(army_t, location_t)
work. What gives?

3. How can I access a 'path' variable? What is its structure? e.g. I want to move a unit along a particular charted path (charted by the AI).

The thing I don't understand though, is all the SLIC referring to things that weren't even implemented in CTP1. Stuff like leader assassinations. Throwing parties. Rustling. Nullifying walls. Can anyone at Activision let us know what works and what doesn't?

And I do appreciate it BUT......

Once again we are left to figure out what is working and what isn't as well as what is correct and what isn't.

For example, the 24 terrain types are CtP1 terrain types, this doesn't do much good for CtP2. (Or was the SLIC not updated to handle the new terrain types, as well as the extra two, 25 & 26)?

I'm very glad to see that they are moving forward on some of the post-release things that needed to be done. I just hope they keep at this long enough to turn this into a really good game.

And yes, some documentation on what "doesn't work" would be very nice. I can understand how taking this stuff out of game files would be a lower priority than making the game work. And since they are just starting to patch to get the Multi-player working, and still haven't got PBEM working, I guess they shouldn't be doing this low priority stuff yet.

It's possible that the "assassinate leader" trigger refers to the "hit" that the eco-terrorist performs. Even though it may not necessarily be the leader who has been whacked, I assume it's someone important enough to cause powerful unhappiness.

The parameters defined in the strategies.txt file are used to control almost every aspect of how an AI controls their empire and tasks their units. The details of what each parameter does has been described elsewhere; the purpose of this section is to explain how to change these parameters to customize the game

It appears I might of spoken to early since they are at least listing some of the old, outdated files.

Thanks again Activision, this is the kind of stuff which will help out.

** EDIT **
I forgot to do a few minor things like XMas shop so I had to put off the rest of my planned step-by-step instructions in the "V1.1 and Scenarios" thread until I get that done. Before I pick it back up, do you have documentation regarding scenario development to post?? If you do, it would be kind of pointless for me to continue.

But for now, can you just put the raw files up there quickly, so we can take a shot at them? The wait for the HTMLized version is killing me

The recently posted buildings text also answered some questions I had regarding city defense improvements.
