What do the Top/Botton flags do?

What do the Top/Botton flags do?

That's the rank of the player's cities. So Top 0.2 ProductionCities would be the top 20% of cities ranked by production.

[EPW]

So did you change the unitsupportpercent? i don't see what changing

Bottom 1.0 //Top 1.0 //0.2
GrowthCities //ProductionCities

has to do with what I said?

[Maquiladora]

I just realised, and I don't know But it led me to try growthcities instead, and it worked so...

[EPW]

I just did a test: even with one settler, the military advisor says that the upkeep cost is 100% on turn 0.

A look at the source shows that it will return 0% percent in this case, though it is displayed as 100%. I'll change the display to show 0% if the readiness cost is 0, and 100% if the readiness cost > 0 but production is 0.

Whose going to get the 1000th revision?

Probably not you.

I'm thinking about how to change the VictoryEnslavement ability slavers have.

Right now, if you have a unit with this ability in a victorious army you will be guaranteed to earn one slave.

These are some of the variables I am considering to add:

float chance //The chance of enslaving a unit on victory
float SlavesPerUnit //The number of slaves captured per unit
Int Attempts //The number of units the Slaver tries to enslave per victory
Int MaxSlavesPerVictory //This is the maximum number of the unit can enslave per victory
bit Stacks //Ability stacks with other enslavement units in the victorious army

The max number of slaves you can capture per battle will be SlavesPerUnit*UnitsInLoser's stack.

Thoughts?

[Maquiladora]

IMO victory enslavement is already too strong, so I like the sound of the "chance", so we can control it more like slave raids. The others I wouldn't use myself.

[EPW]

Okay, I've added VictoryEnslavementChance flag and VictoryEnslavementStacks flag. I'll take a look at the GovernmentOnly thing and see if I can add it without much effort, then i'll commit.

[EPW]

So I'm going to add some kind of fortification heal rate flag. The question is, should I add it to const.txt, or should I add a tile improvement heal rate flag?

[Maquiladora]

In the tile imp DB it would be a lot more flexible, no?

[EPW]

Capturing a city now clears the stored production:
modified trunk/ctp2_code/gs/gameobj/CityEvent.cpp

In the tile imp DB it would be a lot more flexible, no?

yeah

[Maquiladora]

[EPW]

Hmm, do you think it should add to or override the normal healing rate?
