Re: Auction X gold balance

I think I might not be explaining myself clearly. Yes, with the current gold settings (75/75/75/75/325), optimal play for center is to overrun two or three sides. That's why I'm suggesting to reduce center's gold, to 75 or a little bit more, so that strategy would no longer be possible.

Re: [move_unit] exactly one hex back

Pretty sure it's still unsynced, and we should really not have synced and unsynced attributes in the same namespace, it should be something like unit.unsynced_facing, unit.unsynced_controller etc.

Re: Auction X gold balance

What I was aiming for is for center to have to start by having an even fight against one of the corner players, while still having a bit of extra GP to protect their rear from advance scouts from the other corners. I hoped it would basically become a 4-player map. Alternatively, the map description ...

Don't forget the unit's sprites, portraits, and attack icons.

Re: Indicating hexes that heal / illuminate / etc?

What do you think? How many icons do we really need? Illuminates: No. It shows up in a large, clear way on the sidebar. Yes, but how many people look at the sidebar while moving the mouse around? But if we do this, we should also think about a darkens indication for scenarios are in caves or that f...

If we link to this, note there's some rather graphic depictions of violence in some scenes. We may need to add a disclaimer.

Re: Auction X gold balance

So maybe for 5-human players we should recommend playing the map with something like 100 gold for the center side, so he can overrun just one side?

Re: Suggestion for {HIGHLIGHT_IMAGE} macro

I'm leaning toward having two separate macros. With one macro it'll be two easy to forget to handle all case when we change the macro. Could you please (fix the indentation and) open a pull request for discussing this further?

Re: Suggestion for {HIGHLIGHT_IMAGE} macro

This is a bit hard to follow. If I understand correctly, your suggestion is to add a new version of {HIGHLIGHT_IMAGE} that, instead of taking {BACKGROUND_VALUE} that specifies a particular image to preserve, takes a yes/no parameter that means "preserve all images on that hex"? That sounds...

Re: Auction X gold balance

The usual village mechanics would apply. Whoever was the last player to place a unit on the center hex would have an additional income of 10 gold/turn.

I don't think I'll implement this myself, so if someone wants to implement this as a PR or as an addon, go ahead.

Re: Usability with end turn button

There is for example the "Combat Information Theme" available as an addon. I think it doesn't change the end turn button position though. That's correct. The Combat Info Theme doesn't change anything in the right-hand sidebar, except for showing the damage histogram when the mouse is over...

Re: Count units on a side?

You can't just paste lua syntax into WML, you have to wrap it in [lua] tags. [lua] tags are ActionWML and can be used wherever ActionWML is allowed, like inside events and menu items and so on. I edited the previous post to correct a syntax error, make sure to use the new version. https://wiki.wesno...
