any way i am having fun

What you mean? you are playing with the colonies?
if so may i see your coding?

[Pedrunn]

Funny how looks like great ideas just come from nothing!
I just wake up and while watching TV a came up with this

HandleEvent(MakePop) 'TestColony' pre {
	if(city[0].population == 0){
		return STOP;
	}
}

I tested. It works. This prevents colonies from getting slaves.

Brilliant! But do the slaves go to some other city then or disappear altogether?

[Pedrunn]

No, they just disappear! We will need some work around for that.

Off Topic: Did the new links worked out for the city expansion?

I got most things done for my version of colonies I have also made it possible to move pop and slaves (when I get the slave trader creation right)

Any body now how to remove slaves form a city.

A slave trader unit is made in a colony instead of a slave pop so you can move it to your nearest city. Then click settle and the slaves are added to your pop. Same with normall pops ( the immigrant unit )

i will have the rest on monday

Actually i have been thinking in re-do the CTP2 trade system to be possible strategic resources and the buy of goods. But I have just started coding.
And colonies will be in but a little diferent from what we've been thinking

[The Big Mc]

I have almost finished the rough for the colony system. I am not far off having the ideal colony.

Just got to figure out how to remove slaves from a city.

I think I found a way to link the colony to the capital so what ever the capital builds in structures the colony gets.

[Pedrunn]

Can i see it?

[The Big Mc]

yes i will send you the stuff for the movement of pop and slaves that is all in cold hard slc
