Retreating and Strategic Bombing Issues

@ff03k64
I've tested it, and I confirm this does work. I didn't want to do this for two reasons:- It's a bit less convenient to produce before combat move.
- Gameplay wise, this would mean you don't produce for territories taken during the combat move step. (If they're undefended.) My intent was for undefended territories to immediately produce when taken.

Couldn't you still leave the production after the combat move?

I just wanted to know what it would do to try to figure stuff out. I don't know a whole lot about how the engine works, so working through what I will probably be trying on my own map at some point.

I just tried that, and again retreating isn't working.Can you do any NCMs when the end turn delegate is after purchase? Or just no retreating?
-
@ff03k64
NCMs still function.
And no. The reason is pretty simple. Production must happen BEFORE income. This obviously doesn't work if income is before CM but production is after CM. -
@Mas-N Is production being before income an engine requirement? or something you want it to do?
If i download the WWiiv4 map from the repository, will i just need to copy your xml to try it? or is there anything else different?
-
@ff03k64 otherwise, people can spend the income from the current turn.
and yes, it'll work (but you might need to add images)
i'll post an updated XML when i get this bug figured out. i really like the gameplay and the balance seems pretty good (I'm having a fairly easy time beating hard AI playing either side), but it'd be nice to know if any microadjustments need to be made -

@ff03k64
Just giving an update.
I finally got it to work the way I wanted to by adding 8500 lines of triggers.
It was frustrating when debugging to find out what I did wrong, the things just don't work without even giving any error message unless you have "Use Triggers" and "Units can be destroyed instead of captured" enabled. I wonder why they aren't enabled by default. -
@Mas-N
8500 lines of triggers!!
The map I am working on doesn't even have 8500 lines of code in total!
