Nice find :)

Proper base

Correct comments.

Slightly more complete fix.

RB -> good for merge

Minor fixes & add a preloaded JS file with some simple cinematics to trigger. These ought make it relatively easy to generate content.

Looks fine, agree it's a bit better.

Edit: what would the balancing fix be? Make melee units faster? That seems like it might have unintended consequences against inf.

Well, that and/or making archers slower.
The ultimate fix would be to allow units to attack while moving, obviously, but that's still some ways off.

Not going in this direction for now.

Seems to work fine.

Thanks for the gifs langbart, I think it demonstrates the point OK overall.

Alas, it seems this is a necessary evil than, at least for now. If the chasing isn't worse than in A24b, I guess we'll have no choice.

The delay seems useful to me mostly to avoid the autoqueue training hundreds of units if you somehow end up in a situation where you can train units really fast, such as when cheating.

I dislike this argument. Cheating can and will break a game, so having a delay specifically because of this sounds weird to me.

For the _random preview, did you delete it because it's no longer accurate, or because it's no longer needed ?

Well, it was outdated and since I've biome-specific previews, this seemed to make sense.

Fix button not existing.

I don't feel strongly TBH.

Mh, would it really matter? The individual PNGs are about 160Kb each. At best we'd gain 1-2 MB total maybe?

Sure, in total we leak 40MB of GPU memory. So we can save 20MB.

I think our previews are bad in terms of wasting space. They can be easily reduced to 512x256 without quality loss.

swap out the known problems button for just the forums. GO back to old button size.

Alright. I think I'll merge it as-is, IMO it's a significant UI improvement on the feature, and I see no way this can bug too badly.

Fix inlines.

Visually it is not really noticable.

No, it's the lack of sound that's mostly problematic.

Update with what I was actually trying to do.

Personally, I like the randomness. [...] Based on the couple of gens you posted, I don't know if diverse strategies will necessarily be eliminated but it's something to consider when we start talking about being "fairer" and spacing things farther apart.

I agree, and I don't think this changes the randomness factor too much. In fact, it's why I added 'wildcard' mines that can be placed much nearer to other mines, to occasionally create some really good dropsites zones.

(didn't re-test, gonna resign, but this looks OK)

I got a group of 26 ladies and ordered them to chop those trees trees, two ladies would go the other way.

In A23b the 2 ladies would have gone with the other 24 ladies and then returned to the CC without wood, I guess this problem arose as a result of the solution to the problem I mentioned earlier?

I think that's heavily distance dependent. I don't think it's completely broken for the 2 women to go on the left tbh.
