Re: New AI Design for Wesnoth 1.7

Dave, What you are describing is very similar to the project I started with the dfool AI. For details, see http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/User:Darth_Fool. My ideas on AI have evolved a bit since I wrote that, but I think fundamentally the concept of an AI based upon WML defined orders is a good way to ...

Doesn't the quick trait also have a malus? Yes, and that is a poor design issue left over from its first inception. The rebalancing necessary to make it a pure positive is more work than people want to do. ok, a quick search on 'trait' posted by yours truly yields amongst others the following posts...

All traits should be completely positive. having a malus to 'balance' a bonus is generally a bad idea. A little searching will find my explanations of why.

The transition from torso to tail is too sharp. Since the head and tail are the same color, it makes it look like a fish head and tail where sewn on to a human torso. One way to correct this would be to make the greyer color associated with the ventral portion and the blue to be more towards the dor...

Given that that is the case, instead of doing all that effort and having two interfaces to one game, why not just program an entirely new game, and then we could have two nice quality games instead of one?

I dont see any reason to post the rest of the code, has nothing to do with the problem I'll believe you when you bet your own head on that. Well, since he knows that the rest of the file has nothing to do with the problem, he must already know what the problem is. Nothing to see here. Move along...

We have a pretty low bar to become a contributor, but it does involve an actual contribution to mainline.

Ok, with a little thought, I have realized that in principle, using RC, you could do this already in a very painful way. So hey, 'it can already be done'. What is really needed to make it easier, is some WML support for defining palettes using an image instead of having to define each and every colo...

A quick grep through the mainline units shows that Walking Corpses are the only plague type in Mainline. Still, it would be good if the description was adjustable to allow it to describe something other than a Walking Corpse being generated. Basically, the macro: {SPECIAL_NOTES_PLAGUE} needs to have...

I prefer #1 without the armor. A cloak might not be a bad idea, but that cloak is too straight and hangs at an angle. Gravity would pull it down, and even wind wouldn't really give it that shape.

also jetryl's sould shooter looks like it gained an extra pant-leg!
