The long weekend is now over and we’re all back and working hard here at the office.
The animation team have been busy adding frigate animations to the game, which is a vital part of the naval system. Ships are organised in capital ships like 3-deckers, galleons, caracks, in light ships like frigates and in galleys. The interface team have been working on such different systems as vassal creation, mercenary recruitment and Holy Roman Empire overview. The focus in gamelogics have been on developing the event-system, where the goal is to basically have every variable in the game accessible from the eventsystem. Fog of War, Terra Incognita and the flow for rivers have been added to the map this last week.
In our modders details corner, I’ll show you a snippet from the domestic policies file.
Code:# Do not change tags in here without changing every other reference to them. # If adding new policies, make sure they are uniquely named. ######################################################### # Aristocracy <----> Plutocracy ######################################################### aristocracy_plutocracy = { cavalry_cost = 1.25 bigship_cost = -2.0 lightship_cost = -1.0 diplomats = -0.4 trade_efficiency = 0.01 production_efficiency = -0.01 left_specific = { } right_specific = { } }
This allows a modder to completely design how the domestic policies should be in his usermod. There are currently about 80 different factors that can be affected, and the game is completely flexible on the amount of policies you can have.
This screen shows the overview of the Holy Roman Empire, where you can easily see who the members of the empire is, as well as the current emperor, and who the electors are. The electors also show who they will be voting for in the next imperial election, as well as your current relation with them. As you can see, the map of Portugal have been changed, and they now have defensive depth when fighting a war.
Hum, les moddeurs vont vraiment pouvoir bien s'amuser
Et il devrait etre plus facile de s'y retrouver dans le SERG maintenant
