Oh right. Locutus' DL.

Not likely, or a very elaborate scam. Telling myself in some thread that I don't get the code to compile without crashes, responding that I don't have any problems, offering advice on how to get the debug version to work with logging, and responding that the debug version is not the problem at all.

Inderdaad.
Did you manage to get the non-debug versions to work in the end?

If you haven't already voted in the Apolyton Hall of Fame: December 2003 vote there.

Did you ever notice that problem of when you explore alot of terrain on the map, then you meet another civ ALL their coloured border suddenly appears visible on the minimap even if its under fog of war? Id prefer it if you never saw their border until you explored it yourself. Anyone agree/disagree?

Ill explain my reasoning, example, a MP game, i explore all the North side of an island with a coracle really early in the game before anyone had settled there, then 100 turns later i explore the South of that island with a Longship and meet an opponent then suddenly i see all his border on the minimap that hes expanded all the way to the top of the island, strange.

Bug fix posted below by Fromafar: Use the veteran status in combat.

Based on the observations and proposals by MrBaggins and Solver: apply the veteran coefficient to the unit properties when in combat.

This bug fix will improve the chance to hit the target (i.e. increase the RangedAttack and Offense properties). It will not modify the other properties (Defense, Strength, etc.). This corresponds to the handling of the veteran status in UnitData.cpp.

Apologies if this has been discussed somewhere else, but why cant veteran status affect Defensive stats too?

[Fromafar]

As far as I know, it has not been discussed before. And there is no particular reason for the present implementation, other than that it is what I thought was closest to the veteran effect implementation of bombarding.

This is something that needs to be reconsidered when redesigning the combat system, so it probably should be input to the discussion in the "Game balance of Tile/City Improvements (Imps)" thread .

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, Everybody!

Before food and TV, my sons and I take a walk across Port Meadow to the pub. Here's a couple of pics; first, the pub:

This pub caters to a flock (?) of peacocks:

And finally, some Christmas cheer:

Nice, the first one looks almost Asian... apart from the semi-detached houses hiding in the trees I bet the drink aint cheap there.

There used to be peacocks in a large pen around the bowling green in the park next to where i live, but they kept disappearing, which says alot about my neighbourhood.
