Pay them in penguins! And all the penguins have the wander ability ramped way up, so you're constantly forced to herd them back into their convenient PengoWallets (tm). Also, the penguins explode when you come too near to them, so you'll need to find special whisk broom items to push them (gently) around. That's pretty much how the economy works, or as far as I'm aware, right? |

YEA!!!!! PENGUiNS!!!!!!! argh... anyways more info? yea thought i needed more... my original plan was to pay the person resources every certain time of day (warcraft day that is) depending on the number of cities he owns...but since i made it extremely large and confusing (think cities that upgrade...yea...) I've decided to scrap that plan... it already took me a page and a half of triggers to limit one capital per nation... anyways yea... i need a simpler method...so yea... ideas needed...help? PS. i DID want penguins but....yea...that wouldve been better judgement |

Oo. Autosave is your friend -- I set mine to 25 minutes, but when my computer was being real cranky with me, it was down to 10 minutes. Definately turn that option on. I'm still not exactly sure what you're making. What's the concept? Nation building? What do you get for owning a city? Does a city near a natural resource (mountain, forest, stream) net you anything? What do you get for holding more territory? How do you hold territory? Are there standing armies that you can take cities with, or is it about diplomacy? (And how is this different than Age of Empires)? |

Yea i had autosave on every 5 minutes.....but yea i think my map was bugged up in the first place so windows reset the save place back to when i didnt haf the info ... anyways about my map? What I want is to remove resource collecting all together haf sum way to pay pplz depending on the amount of cities they haf (cities and capitals) yea but if i made it so they pay like that i'd also haf to change the trigger every time the person upgraded... really really really horribly time consuming, i already needed to reduce the amount of players from 12 to 8... anyways... Yea its nation building, without the territories, took too long and too unoriginal... it's like age of empires... sorta... widout the resource collecting... it was originally supposed to be like diplomacy... now anymore tho... think diplomacy widout territories so more warcraft like wid religions and different types of rulers (rite now only Emperors, King and Warlords) and yea... really realistic-afied and confusing-afied =] I haf another idea but i'm not sure if it'll work so i need opinions... I want to haf a corner of the map or sumtin blocked off to haf a whole hell of a lotta resources where every time u build a city or upgrade a city/capital a resource collector will spawn in that corner... u think that will work? |
