I'have a few suggestions for conquer and I haven't been able to send mail back to the owner so I thought I would post them here. - I don't think its fair that a nation with spell points loses some of them randomly. (There's a percent chance every turn) I think a better solution to limiting spell points would be to say you cannot have more than the nation's knowledge. - There was a bug that was fixed in the last patch that dealt with highlighed armies not being shown properly on the screen after you move them. The problem is that the fix was to completely redraw the screen each time you move an army (when you have display set to highlighting the armies only). I'd rather have the old bug than redrawing the screen constantly. - I think the game redraws the screen needlessly too often. Cases that come to mind are: using the "c" command and makeing any change (like the tax rate), and the army report changes. - The code to add a nation was changed so that orcs can only have a reproduction rate of 12%. How about the NPCs? I've changed my nations file to limit but I think an update is in order. - I get an error occationally during the execute that says: "nation xxx told to put yyy civilians in sector x,y -- not owned -- placed in capitol" This seems to coincide with a PC nation taking some of the revolting sectors of an NPC nation. -- Ken Dalka (Bell Labs) att!ihlpz!dalka IH 4H-416 (312) 979-6930
