Reworking our Demo Approach

[Dale]

Mark:

In my description of a tutorial mission-based advancement, I meant "went wrong" as in what concepts are different in COC to what I've written down. IE: Trade routes. I couldn't find anything like that in Demo6. Is that in the pipeline or not at all?

Sorry I'm too dead to give a solid opinion on which way to go with coding. I'll think about it soon and get back to you

Hey Dale:

There are merchants that ply trade routes in D6. But they do it automatically and there's no interface. But that part of the game isn't Too far from being something the player can work on. However I envision trade as something that is mostly encouraged or discouraged overall or by specific commodity by the player, rather than something where individual trade routes are micromanaged. We have to see if that passes the fun test tho...

Cool no probs. Whenever I hear trade-route, I still have nightmares about Civ2's caravans moving all over the map *shudder*
