What papyrus is for?

What papyrus is for? I didn't notice that it's needed to anything.

My suggestion is to make it needed to anything what gives prestige.

that's the old mystery of papyrus :)

so far it really is only a hard to clear obstacle.

sorry but your idea is ... rather thin. also glob2 not really lacks of ideas.

using it straight away would be one line of modification that even you could do:

changing this file will break online play unless your opponents all have a changed version, too!!!

see http://hg.globulation2.org/glob2-new/fi ... ldings.txt line 864-1031.
you find this file in your glob2-installation/data/buildings.txt, too.

school0c means school building at level 0(+1) construction site.
there use
maxPapyrus 42
in any of the construction site levels and you're done.

this will not get added to the main version any soon as the maps are mostly without papyrus what efficiently would block schools from being used, so this is only for you to play around and test the effects.

I see, so let's close up this topic ;), but when I mean IDEA, I mean suggestion for NEXT version, I think that than everyone will have synced version.

yes, but as i said: as having to change almost all maps for a change that does not change the quality of gameplay is rather unlikely to happen, this change will not be there in a new version. try it on your own and suggest it after you have toyed around with it. it's easy to do.
