Trying to make War of the Roses Revamp
-
Maybe that is too much, try 100 and see if that changes the AI play.

@thedog Well I need to have it high enough to where no one can buy one. The most expensive unit next to royal is a general who cost 23. But yes I will try a smaller amount. I wish I knew more about the AI and I know there is more on the forum but where is a good starting point? Meanwhile I am pretty busy here lately, I wish I had more time.

@thedog That tuv option is a useful feature. Never noticed it before.

@rogercooper I think this game is ready to release. I have play tested a bunch and it is unlike any other triplea game as far as I know. Taxes must be paid to feed the troops, and royals, warlords and generals can be captured in battle whether on offense or defense. Capitals must be defended at all cost. Another version might come out in the future but this is it for now. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XvbjrKAqCkfc_4qxJE8tWwSVMhhB58ej/view?usp=sharing

@ted-self I will take a look and post it this weekend.

@ted-self
Consider the following;- Rename Skirmishers to Billmen or Men-at-Arms
- Put an underscore in front of all the named units, eg _BeaufortR, so they are all grouped together in the units help list
- Remove Slingers from all faction or at best the English factions. If you keep them they should be 4-5pu, the AI will never buy them at 6
- Remove Chariots from all factions
- Cavalry should cost at least 6pu, or maybe 7 as they were not that common
- add to City & Fort "givesMovement" to all move move 1 units as they would be well supplied and speeds up game play around these units.
- There is a problem with your game notes there is an extra " in the middle of the text
You are learning the nuances of the xml

@Ted-Self
The connection Alnwich to Lancaster is missing -
@thedog I will hold off on posting until your next fix.

@thedog Slingers do cost 5. Obviously history has been thrown out the window but I can see making cavalry cost 6. If I remove chariots I need some unit to take their place at 4-4-2? The gives movement option sounds very interesting. I was figuring on making a 1.1 version (I don't know when lol) that included plague and other major changes. Still I think the game is fun to play the way it is. Balance has been the big problem from the start. (I don't want to do anything to screw up the balance.) If a faction is not careful they can be eliminated by turn 5. I finally got some balance around the Chirk-Coventry area by giving the capitals cathedrals and archers, but the balance thing in the north with McLeod and Cockburn has been more troublesome. But anyhow being fun to play and bringing back some of the magic of the original are big plusses for me. As usual thanks for the input and I will for sure implement some of your changes for the next release.

@ted-self The more I think about it the more I realize- chariots have to go and a couple of other things as well. It might take a while because I am being pulled in several different directions right now. Cheerio.
