Phase 5 Additions

Nah, even more impractical would be a video system. You get a video of each person speaking their post. SARS would have to take a second job just to pay for the bandwidth.

Well, lets see what the program says...

if ($naval_unit == TRUE)
{if ($naval_battle == TRUE)
{$damage_dealt = $damage * 2;
$result_enemy = $nation_troops - $damage;}
else
{$damage_dealt = $damage * 0.75;
$result_enemy = intval($nation_troops - $damage);}

So based on what I coded above (yeah, we now calculate battles automatically), it seems like actual damage dealt out by naval units is multiplied by 0.75 for non-naval battles.

The War FAQ needs some updating, but I'll wait until the current phase ends, when more changes will be made.

Ah, thank you. At least now it's clear which one is right and which one is wrong.

I thought the extra soldiers are from the "fortification" option? And even if that's the offensive bonus, I don't think it's 50% at all. I could be wrong though. X_X

You're right - I mixed up the fortification and prefect boni. My comment was wrong.

I hate to sound like I'm being impatient, but are the last four fronts going to conclude? It's been almost two weeks since Safir updated, and almost a week since two of the others. Normally the map isn't updated until the phase ends, so it was a bit worrisome seeing the map change this morning without the phase having completed.

I found the update of the map midphase a bit odd as well since it has waited until the end of the phase previously while I've been here.

At least Tinto's all done already!

The map has always updated mid-phase on an ongoing basis. This phase was actuall an anomally.

As far as why the battles are not updated, that is because we have not received plans for all of those battles. Get the plans into Synchysi.

What? No slobbering over the map? It was hard work, you know. Let's all focus on the map! :P

*sheeps* Honestly, I kind of liked the subdued dignity of the original map. Heh, I don't even use the terrain type markers that Shadow Wolf came up with; I color over them on my copy. I've already converted the new map back into an approximation of the old, for my own records. It did help though, since the old map had outlines splitting the old terrain types, which made it difficult to cut out a map of just the territories, something I've wanted to acquire for some time now. The outlines were too close to black, that trying to magic wand them, I kept getting parts of the roads sucked in. Wound up being too much effort. The new map, aside from a few pixels that have declared themselves my nemeses [mostly around the desert regions] I've been able to turn into a perfect territory-only map.

I think the new map is by far better than the old one. Good job, John Layfield!
