slave trading vs abolitionist movement

[The Big Mc]

you cant.

[Pedrunn]

So how do you plan to introduce this slave trading feature?

[The Big Mc]

i dont know.

[Pedrunn]

[The Big Mc]

the upseting thing is that if i could get this to work i could activate my coloney strings too.

[Pedrunn]

I think we can

Check this out

int_t SlaveryHapenning;

city_t SlaveCity[];
int_t SlaveCount[];

void_f StoreSlaveCity(city_t theCity, int_t theAmount) {
int_t i;
int_t sucess;
int_t tmpAmount;
city_t tmpCity;
	tmpAmount = theAmount;
	tmpCity = theCity;
	for (i = 0; i < SlaveCity.#; i = i + 1){
		if(tmpCity == SlaveCity[i]) {
			SlaveCount[i] = SlaveCount[i] + theAmount;
			sucess = 1; // This is probably not needed
			return STOP;
		}
	}
	if(sucess == 0) {
		SlaveCity[SlaveCity.#] = tmpCity;
		SlaveCount[SlaveCity.#] = SlaveCount[SlaveCity.#] + theAmount;
	}
}

HandleEvent(SlaveRaidOrder) 'MarkTheSlaveAttempt' pre {
	SlaveryHapenning = 1;
}

HandleEvent(MakePop) 'FindCityTheSlaverWent' post {
	if(SlaveryHapenning == 1)
		StoreSlaveCity(city[0], 1);
		SlaveryHapenning = 0;
	}
}

UNTESTED AND UNTRIED. And some sytax errors may need to be fixed.

I will test it tomorrow if you doesnt first

Well as the name says I have found a way in theory to allow for the trading of slaves inside you empire.

What do you mean by "trading"? Is it being able to give an order and move a slave "pop point" to another city?

The bad news is that to achieve this I have to remove the free slaves command which is the abolitionist main weapon.

I have never built an abolitionist unit.

[The Big Mc]

Well I am off till Monday but I will try it. Now if I remember right from my research if a city has 5 slave and you want to add one more the program adds one pop on and then changes the characteristics of the bottom not slave pop point to be turned into a slave.

Meaning if you kill 4 people off a city with 3 people and 2 slaves then add 3 pop points the city will be reduced to one slave and 3 people.

Notes on slave trading

Right lets start it is in possible to use the trade mangier to trade slave however it is possible to move slaves directly to a pre selected city. This is achieved in two ways one few slic and two with the introduction of the slave trader unit.

Slic

It is possible to put a pop up box to say that you want the slaves to top up all your cities.

The slave trader unit

Simply move the unit to the city of your chose and press the settle button.

Thanks for your answer, the slaver becomes much more interesting this way and I would consider building some.

Good idea on the slaver unit. This kind of makes the game more realistic. After all 10,000 people moving from one side of the world to another in one turn dont look real at all. But i still believe once the slver trading unit setle instead of remove and add pop( I dont know how but i dont think this is a good thing to the city), we shoul create a slaver unit and a settler (a slave trading unit) of another civ next to the city. This would add the slave in the city. Once finish we would disband all three units

pedrun

Believe me. Thats the easiest. Use the abolitionist free slaves order. No more to say I will just write it down:

UndergroundRailwayOrder(army_t, location_t)
UndergroundRailwayUnit(unit_t, city_t)

[The Big Mc]

you tried it yet.

if you had you would have found out it don't work
