Features you would like in missions

The script xsd is now available here:
http://www.bits-dev.nl/kam/script.xsd
Note that it's subject to change and obviously only applies to XML scripts which the current public test build will not load.

dunno if this is the right place but.
I always missed the feature in kam to make villages independent.
So that u can have 3 villages. one for food, one for warstuff and one mixed (for exemple).

Is it possible to intigrate this in kam remake and TKE when its finished, or is it to hard?

[harold]

Well on one side it's very easy to make the mission support it (it does so by default)
On the other side, it's somewhat more complex to give serves correct tasks in that case. For example, euclidean distance means nothing - even if there are only like 10 tiles in between, the distance could be infinitely large.
I think (but I'm not too sure) that TKE already handles this correctly. If it doesn't, well, path calculation for serves is hard enough as it is, really, so I can't make any promises..

I think thats not gonna work if villages are connected by roads. There's always uneven amount of tasks in villages, so there will be always a flow of serfs between these villages..
As for unconnected villages - maybe

It would be possible if buildings and serves are assigned to villages. Then they would be able to operate as if they were allies, but they could be controlled by the same person/CP.

[Krom]

Actually yes, thats a good idea
Several player-controlled players would be fine

Don't know if I'm too late with this, but hey:

- The possibility to change the controller of certain units/buildings at a specific moment.

- The possibility to change the amount of wares in a storehouse at a specific moment.

I had a whole bunch more, but forgot it all. It's not worth trying to remember if I'm too late with this, so please let me know.

Hello, I have also some ideas, just might post them.

- Extra Mission Goals, like: kill a certain amount of units, survive for some minutes.
- Possibility to disable certain weapons, like spears, while you can make axes or bows.
- Possibility to disable units and houses with the AI.

It would be nice if you could say to the AI where he should build sth. Like after xx minutes he builds some watch towers at a certain place.

@TDL: ok the second is possible with the "current new" format (timer+addwares), the first I am not too sure about, I would like to have that but it may be a little harder to implement (may require tricking the game into destroying the thing and respawning a copy of it but with the owner changed, because the original owner has to "lose" it and the new owner has to "acquire" it)

@Bolgaren: first is already possible with the "current new" format, the rest is noted, the AI thing is still empty so it shouldn't be hard to add

@Humbelum: noted, we should definitely have this, otherwise for any complex structure it would have to all be present at the start.. which makes it impossible to "race" against the AI..
