Re: Poll: palace_as_barracks

You need to generate the diff file that will implement this change. Look at some previous polls by kevin to see how this is done.

Re: Poll: palace_as_barracks

Why?? If you think you veteran units are important, research the technology for barracks and build them. If you think the cost is too high and better spent on other things, dont.
This is the kind of strategic resource allocation and planning decision that this game is all about. I fail to understand the "Its unfair that all players dont have the same advantages irrespective of the choices they make" argument....

Re: Poll: palace_as_barracks

A barrack costs 30 shields and requires no techs. Why don't you just build a barrack in your capital? It will probably take 3-4 turns and then you are set ... Nobody should be close enough to attack you in the first ~10+ turns. Then you can use that advantage against people that have no desire to build barracks...

mrsynical - barracks requires Warrior Code with the current ruleset

Lord_P - people will still be able to go for a Barracks (veteran units are important, there's no 'think' about it) to build V units in other cities, what this will do is allow people to build a small number of V units from their capital during early game. I think it is a good idea if we are going to keep Warrior Code as a requirement of Barracks.

Ltex2.3b is already 2 months old. Why are we talking about this here. It would make more sense to debate this in the thread for the next game.

Because eX is the (experimental) game for testing new settings? We've changed settings mid-game in the past...
