XML capabilities

Postby Ethitts on Tue Jul 01, 2008 9:22 am

Hey everyone, I wasn't sure if there is a particular place to post this so forgive for making a new thread. I am thinking of creating a map with certain game play aspects but I am unsure on what the xml is capable of. Hopefully you can understand what I'm trying to find out.

Example 1:
Two territories X and Y. If X is a bonus but Y isn't, can X + Y be a bonus?

Example 1-1:
Same situation as example 1, can there be an auto-deploy on either of those 2 territories?

Example 2:
A territory X and an area Y, neither are bonuses. If you hold X, can you get a bonus depending on how many territories of Y are held? So,
X + 2Y = 1
X + 4Y = 3
X + 6Y = 6
etc.

Example 3:
Two areas X and Y, neither are bonuses. Can you get a bonus for holding any X territory along with any Y territory? So,
3X + 2Y = +2
3X + 3Y = +3
3X + 4Y = +3
4X + 4Y = +4
etc.

Cheers.

i think so, you could have the bonus as 2 different bonuses, or as 1 bonus and the other overrides the other.

the bonus can be auto-deployed i think.

With some overrides wizardry, you could do all of those scenarios.

All of these are possible - except the "Auto deploy" bonuses...

All Auto deploy bonuses are given to the holding territory - and are only about the 1 territory.
