my question was not menat in this way what I would have suggested is to have the gather materials objective running and if the player runs out of rations the rations objective is triggered as well instead of providing rations to the player. So there are now 2 parallel objectives to be fulfilled. And I don't think it isn't relevant for anything as the materials are needed in the game anyway. I just prevents some bottlenecks in the economy. But if you want to have more meaning in it you could continue the story only if both of the objectives are fulfilled. Don't get me wrong this is not essential it is more the less a cherry on the cake, but I just don't like giving the player something without a good reason. sometime ago I had a discussion with GunChleoc while developing my scenarios for the empire tribe and we both agreed that a less linear storyline is more interesting for the player. so this is just a chance to have multiple objectives with the player to decide which one to solve first. @ GunChleoc and all the other devs: What is the current opinion about merging this branch? I would still give it a go as the texts are now profread by our chieftain. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/widelands/frisians/+merge/336910 Your team Widelands Developers is subscribed to branch lp:~widelands-dev/widelands/frisians. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~widelands-dev Post to : widelands-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~widelands-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
