Cobra posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion
I'm new to FreeCol, but I've also been reading the Sid Meier's Colonization guides.How can I select fewer goods?For example, if I have 100 cigars in storage, I only want to move 10 of them to the Wagon Train.Or, I want to buy only 5 horses in Europe.If I move them from the storage, it takes all 100 cigars, and if I drag the horse to the ship, it takes 50.

Sorry for falling silent. Lost my job. Fought to survive. I've prepared some new pictures of ships for the Colopedia using the Open AI Image Generator. Do you think they are good enough, should I prepare the other unit pictures, the various terrain types and such in similar style?

I really like this channel: Gold and Gunpowder. The author and the narrator is a fan of Sid Meier's games. While he talks mainly of pirates and buccaneers, he also covers wars, trade and other relations between the native Americans and the European colonists, in particulat in the Carribean. In this episode we learn about the European versus Native combat tactics. The skirmish in the mountains and jungle as opposed to the large open land line warfare. And more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNc...

That's why I was and will remain an advocate of hard-coddig extra advantages suc has starting the game from the back of the map. Even if not usable in Free Col 1 It would open a lot of new possibilities for modders!

As a little bouns here's is a Caravel generated by the Mini Open Ai api. Funny that it looks very Col-style. It even has the ahistoric American flag just like the ship on the game box of the old game. Without being prompted to do so! Damn, did they train this thing on Sid Meier's Coloniazation?! :)

Lone_Wolf, thanks again for your reply and the tip. I only play for fun, have currently some time for it, but not enough to familiarise myself with the modification routines. Robin_Patterson, your suggestion sounds good. Since I named this thread ‘Feedback’, here's another funny aspect – cheating by the AI. My current game, initial settings were random map, very hard, historical starting points - it's the year 1550. The values for the AI nations (England, Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Portugal) and...

Bartolomeu has my sympathy. I wonder whether things would result in the proportion of wins being closer to the unit strengths if. a "Civ-like" combat method could replace the current method . It uses hit points, which are not in FreeCol; but a nominal hit point system might be possible. Each battle has several rounds, with results random but weighted in favour of the stronger unit. Loser loses a percentage of strength - say 10% - then another round is played with the same probabilities. First to...

-
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have changed orders because I know that this can lead to more positive results. That's why I also know that many battles simply cannot be won or lost due to the random value, regardless of how great the nominal superiority of the attacking unit is. Too many for my liking. However, I don't like to replay battles with changed movement orders (including purchasing goods and recruiting in Europe), as I consider this to be cheating. For this reason, I would find a more...
-
If the random generator is set to defeat, this will happen in the vast majority of cases. And the seed for the random generator is stored in the savegame. Have you tried changing the order in which units attack ? rule of thumb : if you expect a loss , use the weakest unit you have.

Two documentaries that exemplify what I consider to be areas for improvement in the combat system, such as loading saved games.

First and fundamentally: scrap the naming of rivers, mountain ranges and regions. They offer nothing to the game and interfere with simple movement.

Another note on the combat system I've been experimenting a bit with this over the past few days, for example playing sequences of several battles in a round in varying order by reloading – normally I don't reload, as I see it as cheating. In most cases, it doesn't matter whether you occupy a field with a unit, e.g. an experienced dragoon, with a defence-bonus of 0, 50, 100 or 150%. If the random generator is set to defeat, this will happen in the vast majority of cases. Out of curiosity, I also...

Yes, I was setting up a hotseat game, something I've done many timrs before for testing purposes. I wouldn't expect firewall settings to be relevant to a hotseat game. If I'm wrong about that, the problem might be do to our néw FiOS router. I no longer remember precisely when it was installed. It's possible that the installation occurred sometime between the last time I successfully set up a hotseat game, and the first time I failed to do so. I might eventually want to play a game against my son...

Feedback Freecol (Version 1.2.0 Revision 1690a5f) The game is varied and can be challenging at higher difficulty levels.
