(a Warlords II clone)
general programming todo list:
a sage should offer money, maps, or items- implement ease of difficulty. e.g. easier random maps have more sages
make separate gui for game options, and have them persista quest reward should be able to point to a hidden ruin that has a particular reward (like an item)city sack/occupy should expire when the target city is razed- should city sack/occupy expire when the target city is pillaged?
quest to kill army type shouldn't expire just because there are none leftadd diplomacyadd military advisor (e.g. surely thou cannot lose!)bug:show smallmap before initial hero, and showing city production (normal works, tiny and small maps don't)- bug: mountains at 100% in game preferences can cause the game to crash. confirm?
- randomly connect cities with roads
- random rivers should flow down from mountains to shore, boats can go on shore, but not land
implement a better tile rendering scheme- implement `vector to new city'
-
- make ai players use vectoring
bug: player dead, end of game not caught. confirm?music system can randomly crashbug: sometimes an army can't be selected in the stack- random cities shouldn't be placed inside islands of mountains
land adjacent to water needs a different "shore" picture in the bigmap- make ai players use heroes to search ruins
- add network play
- graphs need labeled axes, and ticks
need triumphs history reportadd game settings dialog (change computer players during game play)can't change computer player to human player reliablybug: load game can mess up the playerlist when loading from within a gameshow upkeepadd one-or-two-off production stats, per city (e.g. minotaurs: 1 turn, 5 strength)stop production in cities if out of cashbug: sometimes vector-window gets confused and thinks we're vectoring to a standard, instead of a cityrandom cities should produce more kinds of armiesadd new button "cities can produce allies" to game preferencesthe editor should know which tileset is used for the scenarioadd deselect button to the game windowwaypoint graphics should change as armies are selected/deselected in the stackwaypoint graphics should indicate how far into the path the stack can moveeditor should be able to place specific tile images on the mapcity dialogs, hero dialogs, quest dialogs and ruin dialogs all leak memorygame doesn't look nice when the army tile size is different than the terrain tile size. prevent starting games where they differ.can't see green player's flags because it's very similar to grass, make green player's green colour greenerhitting the move army button when there's a subset of armies selected in the stack moves the whole stack instead of the subset.a stack remembers that it didn't have enough moves to attack a city, and then if we tell it to follow it's path, it attacks the city again. this is bad because players mistakenly attack cities.heroes with double-movement items double movement every turn!bug: going up a level shouldn't increase hitpoints because you always only get 2.bug: going up a level should only show SIGHT stat if we're on a hidden mapbug: when gaining a stat, and increasing the movement points would double movement points again if the stack has a double-movement item.bug: units don't get double movement points when the stack has a double-movement item.end of game detection needs to happen every turn, not every roundwhen heroes gain a level, it should say what levelafter hitting close on the win-game screen, the game crashesclosing the game window while the computer is having a turn makes the game crashadd ability to use keypad keys to move unitscomputer players should offer surrender after 50% of the cities are taken by the final human playerthe ai shouldn't go for the last neutral city like it's the only city leftthe computer players should gang up on the strong playerthe ai shouldn't break when it can't get to a citythe stats at the bottom show the neutral playerneed a game option to control razing policyneed a "i am the greatest" game optionarmy tooltips are wrong colour after conquering city.fight windows appear on wrong workspace, and always on topwhen i have an army selected, and it has a path, and i click again for a new path, it should set the path and deselectwhen new units arrive, they should be shuffled into the existing stack. sometimes heroes can be hidden underneath infantrywrong image for a hero can sometimes be shown in the hero map, and also cause a crash afterwardlet the hero search a ruin with his stack, even when the members of his stack are out of movesclicking on next-unit when on a stack that contains hero doesn't reset hero-inspect, or hero-plant-standardbug: game crashes after hero finds an item and the game is closedbug: when loading games the walk-to-destination button can be clickable when there is no active stackbug: quests to raze/sack/occupy cities should only pick from non-neutral citiesadd random turn game option- bug: fight window follows to current workspace
- ai fast computer player can sit around and do nothing
- shields should be part of the army set images
- when flying, the point at which my moves appear to be exhausted is wrong
