No need to transfer ownership between closer cities. That > happens automatically by distance factor. Replaces loops 1, 2 & 4. Does this mean that there will never be other source than city? (I can't see place for fortresses in this algorithm.) Can influence function be scriptable? On Thu, 8 Nov 2007 Per I.

Can you suggest some words to search original messages (with problems descriptions)?

But I'm not sure that the only answer to it is "should never take."

Agree, of course. -- Thanks, evyscr _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
