Can I see some screenshot's please? :biggrin:

Hey Je,

How about more unit types?
And create weaknesses and strengthes of the different unit types against each other.
For example, cavalry is good against swordsmen, pikemen are good against cavalry.
Or you could create the unit type canon, which would be good to use against big armies since there is more to shoot at, but bad against the little, tiny ones with just a couple of men.
This is just a few things, you could add much more. Just be creative ;).
Notice that, when implementing new features you need to be very careful with not overdoing it since every new feature will slow your program down! So be very efficient and only implement things that you think really make the game a better experience for the user.

The graphical design is awesome for the most part! Very nice job, considering you're just using TI-BASIC!
This title screen is seriously the best-looking title screen of a TI-BASIC game that I ever saw!
The user will appreciate your flawless and user-friendly coding style.
I like the idea with the option to assign the number of workers to the ressource they mine, that way the user always got something to mess around with^^.

However, there are some things in the current version that I would strongly recommend you to change:
1) There is no limitations for starting a war. Once you got a nice army and you defeated the enemy, he's pretty much lost the game cause you can just attack him and attack him 'til he's dead.
2) There needs to be an option to skip going in the combat mode and getting the combat results right away cause although it looks pretty, it gets pretty annoying if you fight many wars.
3) Currently the amount of soldiers seems to be subtracted from the limit of workers that you can build. This is pretty confusing. How about you just keep it simple for the user by adding soldiers and workers together and only changing the population limit whenever a new house is built.
4) If you intend to add a spy feature then you should not give the user information on the defending force before he's choosing the amount of soldiers he's gonna send. That should be the whole point in a spy.
5) Is that intended that there is always at least one soldier defending your village although you don't have any? How about letting your workers be the emergency defense force?
6) There are some minor spelling errs that you should fix.
"life points", not "live points"
"defeated", not "defeaded"

Keep up the good work ;).
You should've come up with that game a bit earlier, then you could've taken part in that TI-Basic Programming Contest.. The theme was strategy games. I say with a more mature version of AoC you would have had a reasonable chance.

Joris.

P.S.: I just sent you an email with the screenshots.

[Radical Pi]

Where are all these new people coming from? (Though I could still be considered new )

Bad news...ERR:MEMORY
The basic equivalent of the Blue Screen of Death.

[DarkerLine]

You aren't new, you have 314 posts (which is interesting in and of itself).

[Liazon]

[Radical Pi]

No, I'm completely new.
It just seems like two more people are joining every day and they know how to program

I'm intimidated :D

And Welcome to UnitedTI!

[Super Speler]

I still havn't put TI-Connect on my computer... one reason I havn't had any downloads... I ussually just copy the code... so before I install it for your game which I am about to do can I plz have some screenshots. Or as Radical Pi (I think) called them screensh... wait... kid freindly... *whistle*

[Feanor]

Lol, I guess you gotta blame lolje for me increasing your number of members^^; I'm his brother.

[alexrudd]

Blame? There's nothing wrong with new members. Welcome!

[Feanor]

lolje won't be posting 'til tomorrow,
hence I will just supply the screenshots for him,

[Vinthian]

wouldn't it be easier if you made a campaign "engine"?

where you just program it to read off a list for your mission objectives and stuff. hat'd be cool since you can customize/make campaigns, almost like an editor. but, just an idea,

[Feanor]

Yeah, that would be a good idea! You could store the mission data in a list/matrix; but this will probably limit the diversity of each single mission A LOT. You should take that into consideration though.

Nah, that's not too interesting whether the enemy has barracks or not. Once you got that information, the spy would be useless. Better make it that he tells you the size of the defending force. But you gotta pay him a little fee every time you want to obtain information.
It's more realistic then and there's more fun in the game!

[Vinthian]

no really, you could just group a mission, with string's for text, and list's or event info and stuff. it's a little complex, but it would work.

[Radical Pi]

[Liazon]

and this is just BASIC???!?!? That's amazing! keep up the good work.

[lolje]

I think there'll be a few types of missions. One type will be that you have to defeat the enemy, an other that you have to gain a specific number of ressources and maybe sometimes there'll be a time limit feature.
The game-list will be costumized different in each mission. One Number of the game-list will show the currentlevel-type, an other will show if you are in a mission or not.

EDIT: campain mode already included

[bananaman]

I have to say, you're doing a great job in keeping the programing rate coming at an excellent speed. Keep up the hard work.
