Re: Random Starting Locations

In reality, this is actually more of a challenge for the user interface then it is for the code. The code is written such that team=color, and this isn't easy to break. The user-interface, like when selecting options for a custom game, is done the same way. If we decoupled team from color, each &quo...

The tutorial tries to make it clear that you need space to upgrade. Perhaps it should be emphasized further.

Try to keep it civil people. There is to be no fighting on a Glob2 forum. Especially do not say angry things then try to justify it by stating etiquette rules at the same time. Neither of them are necessary.

Your right, harvesting speed has little relevence in long distance harvests. But when you play allot and get to the fourth level, and maintain that for a long game (you get used to the level four harvest), then start a new game, you notice it. The workers will be noticably slower with the lower harv...

This is possible to do, if you know C++, with "Echo". I have some documentation regarding Echo. Echo is a sort of low-barrior API for making AI's. Keep in mind the documentation isn't up to date with the latest version in the cvs, but it is up to date for Alpha 21. Its very comprehensive, ...

I think I might do this. In the cvs version, I have implemented a sort of visual overlay that shows where there are the highest and lowest concentrations of starving or wounded globules, or turrets, are by painting a semitransparent colour directly on the screen. I could probably do the same for wat...

Thats a typo-like error. I would file this in the bug report section and it will be fixed for the next version. In the meantime, if you open IRC.h, and look at the lines it mentions, and remove the "IRC::" on the lines. For endGameScreen.h, remove the "EndGameScreen::" on the lin...

Time to be evil!

Lets take a hint from the evil doers: 1) Place wall construction sites arround enemy swarms while they still have no warriors, for the win! 2) Ally with your opponent, and swiftly move your warriors into place arround enemy inns, then un-ally with them to let your warriors raise hell 3) By placing w...

New Campaign

The game needs a new campaign. Everybody knows it. However, the game also needs a new campaign system. Its two-fold really. The new campaign system will be more campaign-oriented. The existing system is really just a map-selection menu, you can easily start from the last map. The new menu will be mu...

There is one problem with doing this, unfortenetly. The way the GUI is designed, only allowing you to place level 1 buildings and forcing you to upgrade them from there, will make the user think that upgrading is always a good thing. This could easily confuse an unsuspecting noob.
