Hello. From Game::GetAFacs: if (u->guard == GUARD_ADVANCE && u->GetAttitude(r,tar) != A_ALLY) add = 1; This means: you are advancing somewhere. In the hex you...

Hello. ... Then it should be possible to mix move and advance orders -- otherwise it is inherently unsafe to do advance for more than one hex. If you agree, I ...

Hi All, I was poking through the combat code in search of something else entirely, and found something so strange that I'm sure I must be hallucinating....
... Hash: SHA1 ... Don't be surprised. ... Yup.. definately seems to be. Most of this code is stuff that was redone by Tzarg (Tom Alsen) sometime in the...
... Hash: SHA1 ... Just a note for everyone since this is relevant below, Stephen is helping me with the current codebase and so is looking at version 4.0.10 ...
... Well, from mathematical standpoint this argument is flawed. The initial distribution is a part of the algorithm of battle. In other words, you cannot...
... That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that there is only one point where the distributions will match, and all other points are biased the same...
... Phew! I'm glad I didn't have to swallow that one :-) ... Even BlitzGame? But you know, combat is intrinsicly wrongful, so the title of this thread remains...
... One thing I have seen is a few allied factions advancing together into a hex guarded by an enemy faction who had us all declared unfriendly. 2 factions...
... Hash: SHA1 ... *grin* :) ... Actually, I didn't check BlitzGame. Sorry Tom. :) ... Heh. You only say that 'cause you're not currently causing the...
I was wondering why TACT does not involve a skill contest between the two sides (somewhat similar to how comb is handled) instead of just giving the free round...
Hello. ... The only thing you will achieve by supporting this bug is that I will give the army to single faction when advancing (well, I will run into problems...
