Increasing Bombardment Range

I'd say no. This is because bombard ranges should be calculated in the same way as vision ranges - that way if you have a sight range of two and can't see any enemies then you know you can't be bombarded by anything with a bombard range of at most 2.

With regard to the auto-move feature: I don't find it useful at all. Perhaps a poll is in order?

A poll on auto-move seems in order. I actually find it not only never useful, but also potentially annoying. All it does, IMO, is make order processing in the code more complex.

Maybe instead of a poll we just find someone that does like the auto-move and why. Maybe Tamerlin the purist?

Id like the traditional way to measure distance, mostly because it would be highly inconsistent with the rest of the game not to.

[Ekmek]

this didn't die did it? Is this code up and running now?

[J Bytheway]

It is up and running, but it's also not working properly. I think most coding is on hold until the svn server is all sorted out.

[Ekmek]

Just keeping this fresh now that the server is up

I had the bombardment code working (AI and everything) but late one night I was editing and screwed up. I'm sure it's recoverable. (And this new SVN thing should largely eliminate gaffs like this.)

[Ekmek]

oh the loss....


But I look forward to the recovery. AI used it too
