Well, I have implemented most of that now. Of course, it turns out there is yet another problem which I did not see immediately, namely the "unattended production" of work places such as the town hall and the church. The usual production is <production> <output goods-type="bells" amount="3"/> </production> <modifier id="bells" value="1"/> So, if there are no units present, we will produce one bell, which leads to a ratio of 1/3. And that is wrong. How do we distinguish these cases? Any suggestions? Regards Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
