Perhaps it would be good to have an overview of the current discussion in the first post. Like the one that the Hunter posted in the beginning, listing buildings and wares and training levels and so on. regarding training: I vould vote for the no attack training option. As this would allow for other tactics as with the other tribes if we get this balanced. Regarding the nomads we shouldn't forget them. So please ypopezios could you add the sum of your thoughts about nomads to another thread or to the thread where all new tribe ideas are collected or both of them to ensure the idea will be not forgotten.

I would suggest a seperate thread for nomads, the concept is good as well different and mixing them both in one thread might get confusing. Top Quote |

Regarding nomads, I hve a hard times picturing nomads in widelands. This game is all about building. It does not support a nomadic economy of moving from place to place. Regarding attack, I think a tribe without attack promotions could be an interesting variation, but to avoid having too long battles, it needs to be tempered somehow. So I would suggest an egyptian level 0 soldier would have maybe twice the attack and half the healt of other level 0 soldiers, so it would be balanced, and it would gradually gain healt and defence. that way, combat of high level egyptian troops would last... only 4 times longer than among other tribes. Damn, still quite long. You can already make buildings in the time a battle occurs. it would be unhealty for the game to have fighting prolonged too much, especially in the case of a bottleneck preventing too many fights from happening at the same time EDIT: maybe no attack at all is too radical, but amazons had an outline for little attack that could be fine. In that outline there were 2 attack promotions, were meant to be cheap and be the equivalent of evade promotions for other tribes. 3 evade steps were more expensive and less good individually, and were meant to have the same value return of the attack promotions for most tribes. maybe this model could be applied here Edited: 2018-07-08, 18:39

I don't stick to the topic, but this was a bit curious to me. There are possibilities to make nomadic economy, but it is very hard. Very... And probably it is not the best fit for current situation of Widelands. einstein13 |

I created a thread for nomads, if only to save this one from further off-topic comments. Please put your thoughts there instead (and while being on that, also make an effort to relax and think outside the box), thanks. Top Quote |

that is offering a lot of new tactics to the game. At least we should give it a try and let Einstein do some calculations.
can't see why this would be unhealthy. It just requires different tactics
Hm maybe 1 attack promotion might be necessary. But I would appreciate to have not more or even no attack promotion. Top Quote |

Just a heads up that there are changes coming to the building/worker/immovable programs: https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/widelands/bug-1733064-program-redesign/+merge/349100 I recommend that you do your design on the new model, so that we won't have to end up converting everything. If you're on Windows you can get AppVeyor builds from that branch. Documentation is created via Python + Sphinx on the source code:
The generated HTML documentation will be put in Busy indexing nil values Top Quote |

The branch is in - the documentation should update itself on the homepage soon. You can continue working off trunk now Busy indexing nil values Top Quote |
