Lessee... Sheb, Cript & Pillow Killer to go.

Whilst I'm here, let's look at the coding to-do list.

• Code in the Heroes mechanic full-stop.
• Code in helper units such as the windwalls - units that give bonuses to other units.
• Code in the religion system properly.
• Code in the loyalty system properly.
• Code in the special attacks and resistance framework.
• Possibly code in the diplomacy success chances to automate it slightly.
• Figure out how the hell I'm going to do entrenching when I don't track individual units beyond heroes (which is why you don't have units gaining experience for winning battles).  Honestly it would be simpler just to take that rule out, but since it actually has a worthwhile bonus now...

You'll notice there's quite a few rules in place that haven't been coded in as such.  I tend to come up with rules in response to the requirements of the game - coding is almost secondary until those rules need to be applied.  Adding this list to the OP of this thread as well.

Well Cript's likely waiting on Sheb. Sheb was waiting on his caravan info. So..We should see 2 more turns within the day.

[Iituem]

Going to add an Improved Phalanx unit for Infantry Training II or Armour II that will have bonuses vs ranged units.

[Taricus]

Heheheheheheheheh.

[Terenos]

Will we possibly be seeing more random events soon?

[Iituem]

Oh yes, I should probably mention this.  The Weaponsmithy and Armourer techs will improve almost all of your normal units automatically with each tier.  Only by a little bit, but it slides the scales in your favour and doesn't increase upkeep or purchase costs.  Militia-type units (spearmen or less, usually) don't get any benefit from them, but light infantry and cavalry get a bonus of +1/tier and heavy infantry get a bonus of +2/tier.  Weaponsmithy gives bonuses to attack, armourer gives bonuses to defence.  Think of them as being the Zombie Mastery equivalent of the mundane forces, but you don't need to stack a unit with them for the bonus.

I'll need to code those in too, now that I think about it.

There will be more random events coming in the next turn, of a less magical nature.  More of an opportunity, you might say.

[Terenos]

Colour me intrigued!
That seems about right for weaponsmithing/armoursmithing research. It also favors upgrading existing forces.

Sigh..No new resources yet..Maybe my next conquest..

[Sheb]

I'll do my turn right now.

cript, no way I'm turning this into a Republic. If I have no one to take the throne when I die, they'll be an election of a new Emperor.

I could give you my second born child. Or my brothers first.

[Terenos]

And the new Emperor shall be one of the loyal nobles who did not raise an army to serve the pretender, and so forth!

[Criptfeind]

I'll do my turn right now.

Twas joke.

[Dwarmin]

So Dwarmin, Shall we simply go on record as creating a trade route, when your caravan reaches Spoon?

Yeppers. Incoming RP post!

[Terenos]

Huzzah! Let there be celebrations!
Cript, We just need thy turn!

[Iituem]

"If you should have killed this messenger, please be so good as to consume his body."

Yeah, that actually made me laugh out loud.  Good show!

[Criptfeind]

Cript, We just need thy turn!

Okay okay. Sorry. Just a little bit more until the lone is finalized, I got a PM from Sheb saying he would, but in the same PM he said he would not give any money to people who try to turn the empire into a republic. So I am confused if he is sending the money or not.
