Bombards and reverting territories question

Post by Industrial Helix »

Ok, I have a few questions regarding xml, reverting territories and bombardments

Is it possible to have a territory that reverts to a certain number at the end of the player's turn?

Is it possible to have a territory that may be bombarded that also reverts to a neutral? For example, territory A bombards territory B to 8 neutral armies. Can it be set that territory B reverts to neutral 1 at the next round or even the end of the player's turn.

Or even better, is it possible that there can be a cap on the number of neutral armies that a territory can be bombarded to?

Thanks!

Nope, nope, and nope. Though some of those would be incredible additions.

What about Killer Neutrals?

Not quite how you wanted them - but they revert to Neutral at the beginning of the holding players NEXT turn.

killer neutrals aren't going to work for what I have in mind. I'm think artillery and the numbers as ammo with bombard all over a map, but once the player's turn is over the artillery terr. reverts to 10 or whatever, to reflect the number of men guarding.

would be a nice improvement to bombarding, but it will probably be a while before they update such a thing, if even they'll do that.

@cairnswk

This the one? it's locked theres a well out of date:

To-Do List

That I did mid-08 so there's a year of stuff not in there. On a side note it is high time either an XML update occurred or a gameplay addition.

They locked it in order to catch up and implement some of them, since just a list does not good unless you actually do the stuff there.

What do you mean? of the 40 or so pages, how many of the suggestions were actually implemented? almost none! There was no sense in just letting the list grow, so they locked it, and said they would get to implementing some.

oh, yes, they probably wont. They never do. The site is working fine, so lack sees no reason to start trying to do other things.
