Re: "Fantasy Wars"

It's really a turn-based hexagonal strategy. I haven't played it myself, but heard people using words "like Wesnoth" describing it:)

No, it's not finished. I haven't enough time lately, I'll continue after 14th april.
Here is about all of it.
O'll post Python one when it is finished, of cause.

Re: I am going to invade Wesnoth! What?

Radio.
And Wesnoth is actually game about high-tech wars of giant robots. All that you see on map is up-to-scale. Units looking exactly like humans/orcs/animals etc. is juat a coincidence (or robot builders design choice).

Re: No mouse, no touchpad, just good old keyboard ...

Advance Wars plays without mouse. As well as Advance Tacticts, Final Fantasy tactics, etc. And they have a ranged attacks even.

Basically, all what is needed to keyboardise most of Wesnoth gameplay - add six keys for moving selected unit (attack is just moving unit to enemy's hex)

Re: AI and SWIG

Another concern is that last time I tried to use SWiG for something it seemed that the code it output was long-winded and incomprehensible. This was a while ago though. I think a better idea might be to clean up and properly comment the current python interface. It's not so bad, just a little disor...

May be, it's "Fantasy General"?

AI and SWIG

So, question is - do we want a support of writing AI and/or event handlers on external script languages? If yes, are we ok with just existing python binding, or it's good to add others (or improve binding to Python, at least)? If yes, then using SWIG may be a good way. I tried binding AI on Lua with...

With rings, everyone are hard to hit. But there is no way you can make assassin 100% immune to impact.

Re: SurvivalXtreme: Version 2.02

The only reliable way of beating Stronghold I found so far is using characters with specialized anti-boss resistances and a creative use of the Skirmish ability which I won't spoil for you. On MAD with 400 and no corpse looting? I tried with solo dwarf, dragged util about turn 12, but then AI was p...

Persistent ai_interface

Now Ai instance is created every move for every side. That's not very convinient - it's hard for AI to memorize past moves and it has to initialize all the way each time. So, I propose to do this way. Very simple, just one method more. class ai { static ai* start(char* past); char* stop(); void play...

Re: SurvivalXtreme: Version 2.02

I want to see somebody beating SurvivalXtreme Mad Mode WITHOUT 800 gp starting money (I mean the "old" unmodified SX on SurvivalXtremeStronghold). ;-) If the initial hordes of creeps don't kill you the mobile bosses spawning at the end of turn 21 will because you will be simply too weak t...

Re: SurvivalXtreme: Version 2.02

With 800g bats kill everything. Mostly because of great defence and movement.

Re: Trait which increases upkeep

upkeep: the amount of upkeep the unit costs.

An integer can be used to set the upkeep cost to that number.

Re: Translating images?

I'm not sure that it`s a good idea for thousands of Wesnoth players to download extra ten mb each, for something even one of them hardly needs.
