forum tweaking
I'm gonna start tweaking with the forum system, to add an "edit" button, 'cause I keep wanting one really badly :P
anyway, if the edit button isn't working like you expect it should, that's probably why :) I'll post again when I believe everything is working properly.
don't post to "error reporting" is the point :)
let's just call it "beta" for now...
Ideally I would run a game of Towers of Babel without interrupting it for updates, fixes, etc, so as not to throw off any strategies that people may have formed. However, Towers is still so simplistic that it demands additional features (like the survivors, which I'm still thinking about tweaking a little). Also, there are some nasty cases where the game still says "day", when it means "turn" (turns used to be called days, and the language hasn't all been updated). This can give people the wrong impressions, sometimes with nasty consequences (Fishes & Loaves?)
So, I'm going to pull "it's beta!" on everyone, and fudge some things as we go along :P Rather than worrying about keeping a "pure" game, I'll, for example, restore lost population due to mistakes, and so on. For now it's probably more important that people figure out the game, and suggest things, rather than fret over lost population.
I did it anyways!
when you scout, there's now a chance that instead of finding a region, you find a group of survivors (or maybe one, especially unfortunate, survivor). They can be convinced (against the fear of God) to join you. These should help give little boosts to your population.
enjoy! I sleep now!
on the civ views...
(you know, when you click on a tower on the tallest 20 list)... don't mind lots of those "population: 0"s... it's reading from a field that won't get updated until that civ's owner gets a new turn... so they'll get fixed.
