Hello,

I appreciate that you provided this list and it will prove rather handy as we analyze and consider each of your suggestions. You're continued support is highly appreciated!

I am curious: What is the double-"..." at the end of your post? Are you suggesting something else or that more information may be to come?

Thank You,

Hi,

I looked at the other threads to which you replied, thank you for that.

You have to think scenario creation this way:

The player makes choices and actions, resulting in other actions and rewards if certain conditions are validated.
All this happens during the course of the game, and not at the creation of the scenario with the map editor.

The player will never play a scenario the way it was created for, except for a scenario in which the player's freedom is sacrificed. For example, a very (too) scripted scenario, which I call a scenario of "type RPG", where the player has no choice but to run "to the letter" what the creator of the map decided. No strategy search here, no choice, just a sequence of actions to be performed in a specific order, a boring scenario (for me).

You need to have the tools to check the actions of the players (human and AI) and adjust the scenario during play, it is not possible to do so before.

The double-"..." were for the suggestions not present in the list.
Because they are not as "urgently needed" as the others.
These:

GetMarketplaceExchangeRate(player) and more
GetSpellCost(spell) and more
RemoveFogOfWar(x, y, radius)
GetUserDifficultyChoice() and more
GetResourceGeneratorNumber(resource, player) and more
GetHeroXp(hero) and more
SetHeroLevel(hero, level, levelup) and more
GetArmyStrength(hero, creature) and more
ToggleHeroAIArmySharing(hero, toggle) and more
AddRumor(text)
MergePlayer(p1, p2)
CancelShareVision(p1, p2)

I will respond to the other threads later.

Cheers!
