I see Nue began making a program he posted in the Map War 2 topic.
Well I also started one on Tuesday in NetBeans (Java), on that date I learned how to define my own classes.
I'll need to learn a lot of more things before I can make it even close to a game. We haven't learned anything about graphics yet.
Here's the code so far:
Main file (MapWar3.java):
// Made by Bla.
package map.war.pkg3;
public class MapWar3
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Make the user's nation, let the user give it a name, name the leader and give the nation 5 resources.
java.util.Scanner tastatur = new java.util.Scanner(System.in);
Nation Nat1;
Nat1 = new Nation();
System.out.print("Write the name of your nation and press enter: ");
Nat1.Name = tastatur.next();
System.out.print("What is your name, mighty ruler of "+Nat1.Name+"? ");
Nat1.Ruler = tastatur.next();
System.out.println("Your name is "+Nat1.Ruler+".");
Nat1.Resources = 5;
// Generate 7 to 16 other nations.
int NationNumber;
NationNumber = (int)(Math.round((Math.random())*9+7));
System.out.println("Number of other nations: "+NationNumber);
}
}
Nation class file (Nation.Java):
package map.war.pkg3;
public class Nation
{
public String Ruler;
public String Name;
public double Zones;
public double Resources;
public double Technology;
public double Trade;
public double SeaBases;
public double Production()
{
double Prod;
Prod = ((Zones - SeaBases) + (Resources) + (Trade / 5) + (Math.pow(Technology,0.6)));
return Prod;
}
}
So I'll update this post with progress.
Other attempts to make this game are also welcome in this thread.
-
So my further additions to "Map War 2: the Game" should be posted here?
-
Yes, I think so, or in a seperate topic if you prefer that.

wtf i don't even

I read a few things in the book
Main
// Made by Bla.
package map.war.pkg3;
public class MapWar3
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Make the user's nation, let the user give it a name, name the leader and give the nation 5 resources.
java.util.Scanner tastatur = new java.util.Scanner(System.in);
Nation Nat1;
Nat1 = new Nation();
System.out.print("Write the name of your nation and press enter: ");
Nat1.Name = tastatur.next();
System.out.print("What is your name, mighty ruler of "+Nat1.Name+"? ");
Nat1.Ruler = tastatur.next();
System.out.println("Your name is "+Nat1.Ruler+".");
Nat1.Resources = 5;
// Generate 7 to 16 other nations.
int NationNumber;
NationNumber = (int)(Math.round((Math.random())*9+7));
System.out.println("Number of other nations: "+NationNumber);
Nation[] Nat = new Nation[NationNumber];
//Choose a random, premade map.
Map WorldMap;
WorldMap = new Map();
}
}
Nation class - same as before, just removed "public" before the variables, because they are public by default.
Map class
package map.war.pkg3;
import java.awt.*;
public class Map extends Frame
{
String MapName;
}
Not much yet...
And I just made an interface, but Idk what to do at all.
package map.war.pkg3;
public interface Interface
{
//public void setPosition(0,0);
//public void draw(Graphics g);
}

Okay, a generator in Dwarf Fortress for names goes like this. It takes a dictionary of words, with their translations into Dwarven language, and combines these words (like Dakri Bowapple) and translates them into it...
You could probably try to find that dictionary, and use it for your own purposes. :P
-
Yes, I think so, or in a seperate topic if you prefer that.
I don't think we really need separate topics, although what if your game or mine finishes first? The "(WIP)" or the lack thereof would not count for mine :P

Pretty much, and, as it happens, I have a copy here.
There's also Elf, Human and Goblin name banks. They're phenomenally in depth. (So much so I can even generate rude names in the languages :P)
-
Bla, if you were to describe your flag (your avatar one) and how it describes your nation, how would you do so? I'd like to put that in the game on the selection screen even though it has little relevance to the game itself.
Also, if anyone else would like to describe theirs it'd be useful to me as well.
The screen below is probably the starting screen as it will be when released... Unless someone decides to change their flag... :-\
And also the .exe for today... which I'll probably stop uploading because... idk exactly.
-
Nice.
(Btw, it's the Blaxian Space State, but just use "Blaland" instead).
Flag: The green color represents the enlightment our people gains from Science, the cyan color represents the Technology it gives our people and the blue color represents the bright Future of our state.

So we have to make a graphics journal/report, so I chose Map War 2 as the project I wanted to make for it (considered a galaxy image generator, but I have more of an itch to make progress on Map War 2, I've worked on it during most of the breaks since I chose it as my project :P).
Right now, the map is a square divided into smaller squares... It has to be either 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 and so on... So far, all you can do is setting the name of your nation and your leader (which doesn't affect gameplay anyway :P) and choose which zone you want to start on. Then the game will paint that zone red. Which I just chose to be the national color of nation 1. Then it makes 3-5 other nations which don't do anything yet anyway. But I set up the turn and round structure which automagically adapts to the number of nations. And each second, it tells me what round and turn it is, which is very relaxing.
I bet I'll have to make the zones a two-dimensional array *rageragerage*.
Here's the code and a skreenshawt:
package mapwar2;

Nat1.Name = tastatur.next();
System.out.print("What is your name, mighty leader of "+Nat1.Name+"? ");
Nat1.Leader = tastatur.next();
Nat1.Resources = 5;
//Generate 2 to 5 other nations.

NationNumber = (int)(Math.round((Math.random())*4+2));
System.out.println("Number of other nations: "+NationNumber);

Oh and also, teachers can scan our documents for being similar to content on the internet, so I guess I'll be convicted and eternally banned from educat-ions for plagiarizing from myself now. Kol.
-
A snall smapshot of the progress, I'll make the code public when summer vakashunz because skool is skary and I'm afraid of blagiarizing from myshelf.
(The production in the bottom is not correct on the snapshot, because I didn't set the program to calculate the production during turns. I have fixed this now.)
Enemies do claim zones, conquer zones and build infrastructure. So far I haven't tried losing, though, they're pretty random.
The nation and leader names are randomly taken from two .txt files. In the first line, they contain a number of how many names they contain (one pr. line). If you just write the correct number of names, you can basically enter as many custom names as you want in the files and the program will pick and combine them randomly for the AI nations.
-
Awesome. I should maybe attempt Project Geodash again...
-
uh, i hope that that is just a behind-the-scene thingy.
-
plagarizing yourself? what is this i don't even
-
This don't I even what is.
-
plagarizing yourself? what is this i don't even
My teachers wouldn't know if I was Bla on this forum. They'd scan the report to see if something like that is on the internet. If they found all the code on the internet I don't think they would be amused. They might not even check this forum but just see that x% of the report matched internet stuff.

Hey, were's Iz-Lato Flags? :P
Oh, i don't make any flags to them...

Vh seems good at Python, would he be interested in a collaborative Map War 3 Python development possibly? Anyone else maybe?
My other question would be, would Python be a good language to write the game in? (Otherwise we should find the language that would be best to use, I have most experience with Java)
Some of the biggest problems I had with the Java thing was that I had no clue how I could ever make it generate anything like the complex zone shapes we have on our maps, but that would be a nice thing to do.
Hexagonal zones could be an improvement over the square ones if we couldn't figure out a way to build the complex ones. Ideally I would want the game to randomly generate complex maps similar to the ones we use, but that would probably require a lot of programming skills.
With square or hexagonal it could at least assign random features to the zones, like mountains or water.
And I never got around to try making an interface in Java, but it seems possible. Idk if Python is good for that.
-
python is possible but i've heard from kip tkinter is impossible and idk about pygame but that might be possible
(protip: i have and have used pygame, but only a little bit)

tkinter isn't too bad actually. just need to organize code well and understand it

tkinter (a python gui thingy), allows images polygons, and getting the clicked shape
about generating maps, it could be done with voronoi cells
anyways if you're interested sure why not. we should find a good online code editor with maybe syntax highlighting, non-laggyness, and search/replace.
also an outline of the structure of the program would be good.
since the game is now processing all the turns, the players will probably be less inclined to check the map. there should be a way to prevent modifications to the game save or whatever.
there could be a server that computes the resources and everything. manipulating sockets in python is relatively pain-free.
or maybe the map is sort of savefile, and an interface allows each player to issue orders, saved as another turnfile. then a public piece of code modifies the savefile according to each turnfile in the player order.
-
I hadn't thought it into detail like that, in fact I was just thinking of making it a single-player game to begin with, but a multiplayer option would be cool too.
Anyway cool, it sounds like Python is the best language to use, so let's settle on that and search for a good online text editor.
Inb4 Google document
-
like google docs for python?
http://google.com (http://google.com)
bam http://pythonfiddle.com/ (http://pythonfiddle.com/)
but idk how it's going to like pop up a map it's probably wrong but oh well
edit: nvm ninjahed
-
ai would be tricky for single player. how do you propose that be worked out.
a stack overflow question reccomends collabedit as a decent collaborative code editor. lets use that for now, it's easy to switch anytime
http://collabedit.com/hw5ue (http://collabedit.com/hw5ue)
-
on second thought, collabedit may not be the best way to collaborate. unless the entire thing will go into one file, which seems unwieldy and confusing, multiple files will be needed. maybe github is a better alternative, once i figure out how it works.
-
AI for single player, well I worked a simple AI into the java project I made that is basically just something like "claim adjacent empty zones" then "conquer adjacent enemy zones until I run out of resources" mixed with "build cities on my own zones" I think. A genious AI isn't too important for me, you can just adjust the difficulty by adding more enemies or maybe give the others an income boost etc.
I thought of working out something like a war toggle, so that by default, the other nations wouldn't attack you unless the war toggle came on, but never made that.
-
I think I just made a project on GitHub
https://github.com/Red-Rainbow/MapWar3
Feel free to try joining/editing, or create a user and tell me your user if you want me to add you, if that's required.

oops i just like made a fork or something idk what
you cn like delete it if you can see it
but i didn't pull it or something
-
I'm making an organization called MapWar 3, the project should be under that one instead I think, then cooperating should be easier. Setting it up.
Edit:

I think I'll give vh the power to take most decisions about the program planning and stuff, because vh knows much more about Python than I do, so you can choose how you want the program to be planned, which files we should use and create files etc. whenever you want.
I think it would be cool to have both a singleplayer and multiplayer option, but that singleplayer is most important - if vh is mostly interested in Multiplayer I could focus on SP and he could focus on MP.
In some areas, they will overlap, I'm not sure how to plan that most efficiently, maybe it would be best to develop them as pretty much two completely separate games inside one.
Files that I think we'll need are
Options.txt - a simple text file people can edit to change their preferences, in my Java project, this is how it looked:
Turn Break Time = 1000
Show Advanced Turn Info = n
Nation Name Type = Community/Earthly
Leader Name Type = Community/Earthly
National Color = red
LeaderNames.txt - a file to store some leader names that the AI players will randomly pick, in the Java project, this was its contents (the first line was the number of names it contained):
9
Bla
Atomic
Naru
Matty
Kipz
Deoxy
Fiah
Darvince
Quontex
NationNames.txt - a file to store nation names for AI players, here's the contents from the Java project:
18
Blaist Blaland
Solea and Rift Auspikitan
Bielosia
Ethanthova
Starrie
Spheron Rilmu
Aeridani
Kaeshar
Darvincia
Socialist Republic of Yukidar

And the development has begun!
https://github.com/MapWar3/MapWar3

no time to commit and push so this is the explanation of why i changed what i did
i used settings.py rather than a text file because what if you need to store a list of values instead of just numbers
for example, the price of cities might be 1, 3, 5, 12, 20, 80, 100, and you can store that just by saying
cityprice = [1,3,5,12,20,80,100]
if you want to create the first ten powers of two for city prices you might say
cityprice = [2**x for x in range(10)]
which will make a list [1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512]
while you can do all this with a textfile and some string manipulation, i think it is a bit simpler with a .py file
initializer just creates a nation file for now. if you run order.py though, it should first initialize the nation file, then run all the rounds.
edit: ok order.py works. it asks you for the debug mode twice but besides that it works.
-
I still feel a bit lost in the project, but do you have some suggestions for what we could work on?

i made a diagram of how the files might work together to make it clearer.
https://github.com/MapWar3/MapWar3/blob/master/layout.png
as for what we could work on next, i guess the zones would be a good starting point.
by that i mean the points used to generate the polygonal zones. this is pretty much algorithmic, so everyone knows as much as i do here. figure out how to generate points and group them into lists. once you have the list of points it's straightforward to draw the polygons.
maybe create a class for zones. attributes like structures, type, owner, list of points, adjacent zones, etc. an id attribute would be very useful
add attributes to the nation class like owned zones, at war with, etc.
then let the processor read in turn files and modify the nation files. for example, a turnfile that says a nation has conquered zone 1 and 2, the processor would add zones 1 and 2 to the nation's list of zones.

i was thinking something with voronoi cells. they look nice, are polygonal, and non regular. almost like the map war 2 maps.
they're a bit tricky to code though.
i guess there isn't anything wrong with a hex grid or a square grid, but if there's nothing else to do a better map would be cool.

or you could get a "drawer" to draw lots and lots of maps (basic, without unit zones)
-
I like the options for all three. Maybe some default maps (a few of the map war 2 games and earth or something?)
-
Looks nice
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram)
I think it's best to focus on voronoi cell maps to begin with, if we make code that is compatible with that, it should be compatible with generating square and hex maps as well.
And important part is how we'll check whether two zones border, I never got that to work properly in the Java program I made, but the code I tried to write there I think I made flexible enough to apply to maps with all kinds of polygons and not just squares.
What we need is to check whether zones have at least two points that are a part of both zones' edge, so that squares don't connect diagonally.
-
I found this project with publicly available code, maybe we could draw some inspiration from it for our map generation.
http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/game-programming/polygon-map-generation/ (http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/game-programming/polygon-map-generation/)
http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/game-programming/polygon-map-generation/#source (http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/game-programming/polygon-map-generation/#source)
https://github.com/amitp/mapgen2 (https://github.com/amitp/mapgen2)
It also uses the voronoi diagram method. The Appendix: References also has sources to other sites that could be useful.
This page also has info on voronoi diagrams:
http://www.gamedev.net/topic/576541-voronoi--worley-noise-knowlege-dump/ (http://www.gamedev.net/topic/576541-voronoi--worley-noise-knowlege-dump/)
This page has example code to generate a voronoi diagram:
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram#Python (http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram#Python)
The code requires PIL, which is available here:
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/)

interesting.
here's a thread on how we could possibly figure out which cells are adjacent
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9651940/determining-and-storing-voronoi-cell-adjacency (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9651940/determining-and-storing-voronoi-cell-adjacency)
to store adjacency, i think we should consider networkx, a python module
http://networkx.github.io/ (http://networkx.github.io/)
the module has many algorithms implemented like shortest path, minimum spanning tree (all good for AI and even human use).
-
huh.
the code for map generation you uploaded won't work well.
it uses brute force to compute the nearest point and color it. this doesn't scale well. On a 200x400 pixel image with 400 points, this can take a minute or so. on a 2000x2000 pixel image with 400 points, it might take an hour.
an hour isn't too bad if you don't need to generate a bunch of maps -- we could even pregenerate the maps so that the user can select one rather than having to create one
The problem is that we never really 'get' the cells. we've colored an image, but we don't know which cells are adjacent or what the real boundaries are. we'll have to store all the cell values for each pixel and search for it every time the user clicks. this is somewhat sloppy and might be slow. in addition, searching for adjacent cells or the distance from one cell to another seems like a huge nightmare. you'd have to look at every pixel and it's adjacent pixels.
luckily scipy can solve both these problems for us. i'm implementing a solution

Good, feel free to change it however you want.

i has added a coordinate tracker, dont forget to git pull

Nice jobes. Not sure if we need the coords displayed but good to see it works relative to the window and not entire display. I'm thinking we should see if we can get some buttons to work, coordinate detection probably wouldn't be needed for that though.

I added a button function, maybe the next goal could be to set up a second screen after clicking the start button, adding a quit button or whatever. I've been following some of these videos and it describes how the button could start e.g. the main game loops, with rounds and turns.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-UuVITG7Vg
-
something really weird was going on with the button, i think it was the fact that my mouse position displayer was wiping the screen black every loop, so that bugged it up a lot. so i fix'ed that part and commented it out, as long as a few other things, also the button you made it display the rectangle on the picture but i switched it so it would be on the screen so now it works and we have 1 button declaration in the whole thing instead of like 2 so it's nice and working
ok added a second screen that works
-
Good jobes. I was working on it earlier today but let's just continue on your work. I added a quit button and got stuck at an image of Seb Castro for second screen.
I added the quit button now to both screens. On the second screen, there's a problem with it, seems to be related to mousePos not updating after going to the second screen.
I'm thinking of just letting the "startGame" variable for action be changed to a more general button action, because it would work for any button to make the button return 1 when clicked, and cause that to run some code that starts game, changes settings or quits or whatever.
I think maybe the next goal could be to find a way to make a map or something... This is the really hard part...
We'd probably need a screen to set up the game after the intro screen, so the second one could also divert the player to a third screen that actually has the game/map.
Maybe a zone could work slightly like a button. In a basic version of the game, each zone could just be a rectangle with similar functionality to a button.
I will try to work a bit on this just to see how it goes.

Now the program has very basic gameplay.
No AIs currently, but you can win by claiming every zone to make Seb proud. Who wouldn't want that?

Kol. I would have done the same.
-
Lots of work to do:
- Add settings, e.g. national color, map size, number of players, to the settings screen
- Add a way to check if zones border each other, based on the coordinates of their edges. Ideally this can be extended to non-rectangular zones in the future.
- Add a way to develop and show infrastructure on the zones
- Add a way to set tech rate every 5 rounds and in the beginning (maybe the settings screen)
- Add nation and player names
- Add AIs and options to conquer zones
- Make the game show your production, zones, resources etc. on the screen with the map, for easy reference
-
this looks cute so far
-
Progress
Also an idea: Right-mouse clicking zones should show info on them, e.g. conquest cost.

cute
the map looks suspiciously square though :P

Just think of it as one giant city all the players get to upgrade different levels of simultaneously
-
generating dynamic maps is hard, i've been thinking about it and we might need some fancy polygon work for it to happen

Today's update: Added nation names (can't be entered yet), statistics overview (in the future, the button can be clicked for a full view and nations will be sorted in the list, probably showing only the top 5 in some stat in the game view). Reduced how big the zones are and increased the max number of zones, increased max number of nations to 11 and made the map size and nation number buttons depend on each other (e.g. can't make the map hold fewer zones than there are nations, or set it to more nations than there are zones).

>Blaland has to win of course
btw really cool game you are making.
-
Thank yous
-
amazing
you're making progress really fast
-
Thanks
Added spectator mode, picking national color, nation name, ruler. Increased max map size to 32x30, made it scale with different sizes and max players to 17. Made the statistics sort. Made it possible to go back to intro screen after finishing games. Introduced an autogo button to automatically advance rounds if you're defeated.

That looks strange. Haven't seen that happen.
It should be prevented in the next update, even though it's a bit strange and may give some other minor problems.
-
Today's update adds statistics with several different graphs you can view in-game (haven't put numbers/info on the axes yet) and stealing tech + resources when you fully conquer a country.

who is pink? who is green? who is blue? you should still make dead nations colored so we know which nations are which (imo)
-
I was thinking the same. Added an update that still keeps the nation name colored.
Edit: Added water zones and an option to pick the percentage of zones to be water. Right now they can't be claimed.
-
why is the water percent so low
-
why is the water percent so low
Currently you can't claim water zones, so I set it low so there's a low chance of land zones getting surrounded by water, which would make the game impossible to win.
Also optimized the AI so it won't try to claim/conquer zones on the map multiple times anymore.

ok
here: ethanthova has no provinces, but exists

i think what might have happened is it died (i killed it) and it took its next turn thinking it had just started the game?
idk i just barely noticed it

proposal for new mechanic:
[18:35] <+syule> every player gets a special zone
[18:35] <+syule> which starts on their first zone
[18:35] <+syule> and they can move it once each turn to an adjacent zone
[18:36] <+syule> and all construction and attacks on the zones on and adjacent to your special zone have half cost
the motivation:
[18:30] <+syule> one thing which is missing from map war 3
[18:30] <+syule> well map war in general
[18:30] <+syule> which might be interesting to add
[18:30] <+syule> but also might be bad to add
[18:30] <+syule> for reasons
[18:30] <+syule> which i will specify shortly
[18:30] <+syule> is logistics
[18:30] * Stowaway screams
[18:30] <+syule> like currently, if you have resources
[18:30] <+syule> you can move them anywhere instantly
[18:31] <+syule> you can build a city and attack a zone instantly
[18:31] <+syule> there's no need to strategize your logistics
[18:32] <+syule> with some game settings, warlight can do this really well
[18:32] <+syule> with the logistics of moving your armies
[18:32] <+syule> but i'm pretty sure we don't want to make map war a warlight clone
[18:32] <+syule> so how can this be done effectively but with a simple mechanic
[18:32] <Stowaway> logistics and infrastructure makes me wet but having to meticulously manage it in games kills me
[18:32] <Stowaway> liek in Wargame
[18:33] <+syule> yeah so the idea here is to make it a very simple mechanic without much micromanagement
[18:33] <+syule> but still maintain the strategy which it creates
[18:33] <+Yqt1001> sounds impossible
[18:34] <Floenne> uh
[18:34] <Floenne> i think
[18:34] <Tuto> which makes it really cool but
[18:34] <Floenne> board games can only get so complicated
[18:34] <Floenne> if you want to add logistics
[18:34] <Floenne> you need to start automating things
[18:34] <Floenne> start coding
[18:34] <Floenne> to keep track oveverything
[18:34] <+syule> >yes that's why i emphasized a simple mechanic
[18:34] <+syule> >to simulate logistics
details:
[18:36] <Floenne> interesting
[18:36] <Floenne> what happens if someone conquers the special zone
[18:36] <Floenne> anything?
[18:37] <+syule> the zone has to stay on your territory
[18:37] <+syule> so if it's captured you have to move it to you zone which is closest to it during your next turn
[18:37] <+syule> and if multiple are tied for closes you get to pick
[18:38] <+syule> although to prevent rule clutter
[18:38] <+syule> you might just let that special zone be anywhere at all
-
i think what might have happened is it died (i killed it) and it took its next turn thinking it had just started the game?
idk i just barely noticed it
I think I've fixed it for the next update I'll upload. Now players will only become dead if there are no unclaimed zones.
proposal for new mechanic:
Cool, thanks. I think it would be better to start by implementing the gameplay from Map War 2 before adding logistics, but maybe afterwards. But then I think something like armies would probably work better and seem more realistic than special zones like that. Maybe require that, to conquer zones, you need to spend resources on military forces you deploy to fight or something.
-
Today's update adds extractors with the 4 upgradeable levels and sea bases, and there's no longer a harsh limit on the fraction of sea zones, other than there always being at least one land zone per player.
Also added the option to change tech rates, and set AIs to change theirs randomly.

problems: there's no "not enough tech" message if you don't have enough tech
also if someone takes one of my level 2 production extractors and i take it back two things can happen. if i take click in the area of the extractor, it automatically upgrades (presumably one level) but it actually displays that it's level 2, instead of level 1. same thing happens if you only claim the zone and then upgrade the extractor afterward.
also, i just moved some of the nation names around in mapwar3.py so that their colors matched better
it'd be nice to have some sort of permanent or completely random association of the nation name, color, and ruler (for example storing them in a list of tuples, but then that would be the permanent route)
but i didn't want to mess with anything so i didn't do that

by the way i was going to refactor the code sometime if you guys don't mind because it seems like the entire game is encoded in one huge while loop spanning from like line 200 to 1250
But then I think something like armies would probably work better and seem more realistic than special zones like that.
right but adding an army system makes it
1. a lot like warlight
2. you have to do a lot more micro-management
3. implementation is a lot more complex
and part of the goal here was to find a simple mechanic to simulate logistics. i think the special zone captures the concept of logistics by rewarding strategic planning of where you want to attack just as well as armies would while being as minimal as possible
-
Maybe we can implement the special zone idea, we can consider that later.
And I agree with moving the code to multiple files probably. You're welcome to try.
Added extractor error msgs + a small delay after clicking zones to solve the problem Atomic mentioned.
And you can make changes to the code if you want, just tell me then I can check the changes on Github, but I may revert if there are problems with it. Later the plan is to have a txt file with nation, ruler and color combinations.
-
Added cities, except making them cost more to conquer.
Not all zones used to have cities be upgradeable all the way to level 6 either, that's not taken into account either.

should we wipe out master and make 2016 master
-
Added cities, except making them cost more to conquer.
Cities now cost more to conquer depending on their level
Also implemented the military base.
