Change to Building Code

[The Beatles]

To prevent abuse and make things more realistic, the structures that you build only appear when you have used all your building turns. I.e. if it takes you 30 turns to build 10k smithies, they won't produce any troops until AFTER you've finished the build. Until now, the game acted like all 10k smithies were instantly available, and producing troops for those 30 turns.

The same applies for demolishing, i.e. structures are active while the demolishing is being done. This is less realistic but does prevent abuse.

Incremental building would have been nicer, but much harder.

*Blink* Out of left field, but nice. Good fix.

[Devari]

Perhaps incremental building would be something for the future?

[The Beatles]

Yes, definitely.

Freen, it's a. to prevent abuse which I discovered a while ago on other promis, and b. for an idea I have.

[Freenhult]

I was never questioning it. Just kinda sporadic.

EDIT: YAY! I accidentally ran out of money while builiding and it just stopped making buildings. No loses! Maybe a bug, or just an accidental fix to buildings killing my army.

I don't think you can be right. I didn't change that part of the code. Maybe you were just lucky, i.e. by coincidence the losses only started on the very last one.

[Freenhult]

Well... I was near the end of my run and demoing. It said I could build on 170k or so land, so I figured I was out of turns. I ran out of money when I finished. Not sure if it was because I already had too low money of what.

valhall does it by turn increment. u get credit for only what u build each turn...hurts mages when they have been beat down. this way will demolish them O_O might wait to start an empire here. course i still need to read the game guide before i make up my mind

[The Beatles]

They'll be beat down anyway as they have to reconquer their land first. If they follow an attack-build, attack-build cycle, it should make negligible difference.
