Hi windy,

Just noticed that I said it was no mercs but I forgot to turn off mercs. It's fixed now. You should be able to get one more buy/sell out of it and after that it won't refill. Please tell me if this is wrong ^_^.

General Discussion / Another paper I co-authored!
October 23, 2013, 08:40:06 PM
Check it out guys: http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.5126. I'm this close to first author ^_^. But the other guy deserved it since it was his idea.

It's currently being peer-reviewed, we put it on the arxiv to get a timestamp on it in the meantime since nanopores are a competitive field. I think it's a fairly accessible read if anyone is interested.

Spa Room 101 / electrodes
August 07, 2013, 11:35:54 AM
Had to make some silver/silver-chloride electrodes today, so I am electroplating them in 10% HCl. For a counter electrode I used a pure gold wire (research budgets lol). So now I have a piece of silver-plated gold. Neat.

For a while now I've been playing with the idea of capital cities in my head. I think I may have posted about them before, but I wanted to see if people had fresh ideas related to this, and if people liked the idea before I dedicate time to coding it.

I've been toying with the idea of replacing cities on 3.0 with a single capital city that players upgrade over time. It could have any number of levels of upgrade (7 seems a good number to keep it going for a while). At each upgrade, players need to spend, say, 1000 turns developing their city before unlocking the next level, giving players a choice between three new upgrades to their accounts (offensive/defensive bonuses, bank space upgrades, a food bank, whatever) so that players have incentive to build it up despite the turn investment. Having 7 layers of 3 choices gives something like 2100 possible upgrade paths - if we make them unique and interesting enough it should provide variety for a very, very long time and allow players some account customization

Other details could include upkeep - the city would degrade a bit each turn used, and players would have to invest turns in upkeep, or it would eventually revert to the previous upgrade stage. Obviously this would be a smaller turn investment than building it in the first place. We could also add a leader mission specifically aimed at damaging an opponent's capital city.

Ideally I would like the upgrades to be obvious, interesting things. An offense boost is nice for oldbies, but newbies want something they can see and interact with. So I have a few ideas along those lines, but I need more (halp!).

Some ideas:

Choice between a food bank, a larger cash bank, or troop reserves (or maybe a choice between a troop reserve for only one of the four types).
choice of access to a second race spell
choice of faster merc refilling, lower merc prices, higher merc sell prices

more ideas needed! I'm not promising anything since my coding motivation is fairly low after all the market stuff, but sometimes dev talk is enough to get it back. Let me know what you think.

Turbo Discussion / Tweaks to the market
July 28, 2013, 09:26:51 PM
I finally got enough motivation to teach myself some Ajax, so the market is now dynamic (make impressed noises even if you don't know what that means, it wasn't that easy ^_^). Behind the scenes there are no changes, but the UI will be much cleaner. It works like this:

You enter the max price you are willing to pay, and the market will automatically update itself to tell you how many troops are available at or below that price. You can then choose to buy what you like. It will prevent you from buying any units above the max price entered.

The default max price is the average price so far in the round, or the minimum price at which units are available, whichever is lower.

In addition, there will be a market summary table displaying total units available and min and max prices for each type instead of the long display that we had before.

Hope you like it, feedback is always welcome :)

So, when Shadow Ungatt made the mistake of making Drakus spa mod for a day, he ruined a lot of pretty good spa posts: (example, see Holby's quote here: http://www.redwallwarlords.com/forums/index.php?topic=17122.msg360460#msg360460)

So, I declare this to be clean up Drakus day, and all spa mods are encouraged to undo the damage done to our beloved spa. I cleaned up that post as best I could.
