Colour vs Color

[turin]

Not really a WML question, but a comment.

Is there a reason that the way to set the side's color is colour=, not color=?

IIRC, the game is written in American English, not British English. At least the strings are - that's why we're supposed to say Scepter, not Sceptre.

It comes down to the history of who coded it, and the lack of motivation to make such a small change that would invalidate a lot of WML.

That's what I suspected.. but it was bugging me. I wasn't 100% certain that it wasn't a typo on the wiki, and color= was really the right one.


On a different note, I saw this statement on the wiki:

* [avoid] Makes the AI avoid a specific location or unit.
o x, y standard coordinates- A location for the AI to avoid moving to. The AI will never move a unit to this location except for trying to move its leader to a keep.
o standard unit filter- A set of units for the AI to avoid moving to. This feature is currently not implemented.

(emphasis mine)

Is this still true? If so, is the reason difficulty of coding, lack of desirability.. what? And, if it is still true, is there any other way to have the AI avoid a certain unit?

I believe that this is still true. It is one of the things that I want to fix in the seemingly perpetually delayed dfool AI.
