Re: [engine] WML - options tag improvements
So you want to give a choice of 40 or more items using a slider so your user can be frustrated getting the value they want instead of a combobox where they can specifically choose the value straight away? I guess I'm not see what's being asked for, why it's needed, or how it improves upon the user e...

Re: Coding, Terrain Advantage, Damage
The problem, and it's something I see a lot of places, not just here, is that people insist they understand randomness and probability theory when most do not. It's not that they cannot do the math, it's that they're using the wrong math to begin with. Take the question posed above, "What are t...

Re: Coding, Terrain Advantage, Damage
Laziness, yes.
I'm too old and too tired to deal with another student who skipped class. Take you work to your professor Monday during office hours. I'm sure they'll know of some undergrad who gets it to be your tutor and help you correct your work.

Re: Coding, Terrain Advantage, Damage
Which it the bigger shame?
That you don't have a clue and publish this tripe?
Or that someone will read what you wrote and actually believe it?

Re: Give us an option to disable the "enemy unit sighted" ev
I can see arguments for the option.
I can accept that by disabling the message, you will regret it. But, hey, if you turned it off and had a bad result that's your own fault.

Re: [Mainline] Deep Dwarfs
I feel like they refused to go to the surface because of superstition, or they got trapped underground by a cave-in or something. It might be more dramatic to make some vague reference to some event, long past, which caused them to withdraw deeper underground than 'normal' Dwarves. That would open ...

Re: Script Advice/Critique
See [role]
What I'd do is use [role] to mark the troops at the end of the first scene, so I could [recall] them at the start of the next.

Re: Having trouble creating a campaign
A bug.
Try setting animate=no to work around the error.
If you want to try fixing it, see PR 792 and let me know how it works.

Re: [Mainline] Deep Dwarfs
What would these moles/crickets feed on to gain nutrition and grow large enough for these dwarves to mount them? Sounds like the answer is in the question. Just like surface creatures: each other. There's a food chain starting with the fungus and ending with the apex predator. I'd agree 'in tune wi...

Re: [Mainline] Deep Dwarfs
I like Giant Crickets!
Giant Crickets
Movement: 10 base
Attack: Chirp. This amazingly loud sound deals damage and deafens the opponent, stunning them for a round. (2x6 damage. slows).
Cricket Riders
Movement: 8
Attacks: Chirp plus 1 or 2 weapons for rider.

Re: Scenario 23: Test of the Clans
Konrad having to personally defeat Baron Bayar so he accompanies personally into the siege I assume you're on an older version. I checked 1.12.6 and the bonus objective is simply to defeat all 4 of the clan leaders, and any unit can stroke the killing blows. The distance can be daunting; Gryphon Ri...

Re: ForestDragon's WML ideas
That's fine. I'll probably get a couple comments about not understanding some internal, myself. The only true 'wrong' is not learning from mistakes.

Re: ForestDragon's WML ideas
What is the value of adding "find_path=no"? Is there a value to ignoring terrain and ZOC and moving in the straightest line possible? There is no need to change the x and y parameter names. x={start},{end} y={start},{end} works fine and follows the same path as if you had a player unit at ...
