QUOTE
wouldn't it be much easier to implement fan-made maps? Maybe create a map editor alongside AOC2, and have the players create their own maps to upload on ticalc...


It'd be fantastic but it's not really possible because:

1. The maps are stored in matrices and I don't wat to use matrices else than [J] (to prevent Problems with other programs, that make use of matrices

2. To establish a map that works (with the AI-Player) you need to consider a lot of special conditions

I would keep a map editor for later. First finish the game ;)wink.gif

And for a map editor he would need to use Celtic in the game to call levels directly from programs (celtic allow to copy a line of an existing (archived) program to another)

Ah yes, true, but it would be so sweet to have a map editor for AOC2!
There are 10 types of people in this world-- those that can read binary, and those that can't.

I'm really sorry but I will need even some time because I need to rewrite the AI-Part of the Battle-Mode in order to make it running faster and better;

If I would have given you the current Version, you wouldn't have been able to see everything the AI does with its units in the battle mode because the camera setting is (in older versions) fixed for every AI-turn.

In the upcoming version the camera will be always fixed on the unit the enemy currently uses.

I'll probably need ~3 days to rewrite the AI-part.
Thank you for understanding...

Yeah, take your time. IMO, the AI is one of the most important, if not THE most important, aspect of all games, so improving the AI usually means improving the game experience by a huge amount.
Also, while you are at it and have time, make sure the most difficult setting for the AI is more than just giving the AI a boost in resources and unit stats; AI's that think like humans are always fun to play against... :Ptongue.gif

you canT? Don't forget we can help if you have trouble sending stuff to your calc (sometimes softwares will not work properly for some people/os) in the help section, unless you mean you don't have the actual cable

As for me (if u saw the other topic) I get this when trying the game :(sad.gif
