[Freeciv] FerryRoute addition[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index] [Thread Index]
Hey Here's an idea from Colonization, the idea of setting up FerryBoat routes. You can tell a ferry to ferry units between some points, this gets added to the pathfinding algorithm as a traversable path. The advantage being in lessening micromanagement. If im attacking an overseas area, then i can set up some FerryRoutes and then just 'goto' units to the front-line, they'll travel to the pick-up point, wait, get ferried to their drop off point and continue along. As a server provided service, this will aid the AI players as well. The ferry part of the route could be shown on the client as a dotted line. Related to this would be the option of assigning units to guard (or 'Convoy') a ferryboat. Both travel at the slower units speed. This would be handy as harassing shipping routes would become more common under ferrying. -billy
