Bonus killer neutrals (input from programmer needed)

by **Super Nova** on Thu Apr 07, 2011 5:59 pm

I'm not sure if my idea would work with the xmls, so before I put in the suggestions forum, I'd like to know if it's even possible. Currently, CC has killer neutrals, which after you take the territory they posses, kill you at the beginning of your next turn. Is it possible to have the killer neutrals be programmed to take their territory back every 2 turns? This would allow for some interesting new maps where you have territs with large killer neutrals on them, but when you take that territory, you get a massive auto deploy before you get kicked off the territ.

so it needs to keep track of how many turns you keep something?? that... might be an interresting suggestion..

It's questions like this that are teasing me to utilise my programming degree to look into map creation...damn you!

Correction. It is not possible wight now, but it is possible to do such thing later. We just need a small XML update, and I am sure that site part for the games will not be that hard as well.

So I stamp this as possible thing in the future :).

While it may not be possible now, there is a list of XML Suggestions and Modifications. I suggest you contact MrBenn, or post in that thread, to see what he thinks about it's potential use in the world of Maps

I suggest you just post in that thread... MrBenn is busy enough with all the map-related things, and he can't really affect how the XML updates are made, they're up to lackattack.
