Hi all, Remember my question about wether we should use dedicated headquarter units or just assign commanders to some company? Well, it seems like it would be best to assign the commanders to one of the companies in the ortganization they command, and designate this company somehow as a "hq". We really don't need to do anything else than have some kind of "role" flag in each company that inform the player what it really is, e.g. * division hq * brigade hq * regiment hq * battallion hq * regular company Each company would of course have its normal commander, but some would have an additional higher ranked commander taking care of a larger organization. The company would thus act as a kind of hq, maybe at reduced size to simulate the staff and optional guard. The only change to the scenario files *could* be to add the id of the hq company to each organization, so the snippet below: <brigade id="1" name="Brigade 1"> <leader name="Gen. Molger"> <experience value="90"/><aggressiveness value="80"/> <rally value="70"/><motivation value="60"/> </leader> would become: <brigade id="1" name="Brigade 1" hq="10"> <leader name="Gen. Molger"> <experience value="90"/><aggressiveness value="80"/> <rally value="70"/><motivation value="60"/> </leader> where "10" is the id of a company. The company is flagged as a brigade hq, and the leader added to it. Does this make sense or not? Unless objections/better ideas materialize I'll start working on this scheme tomorrow, just to drive the coding forward. --------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Chakie' Ekholm | Balrog New Media http://www.balrog.fi/ Linux Inside | I'm the blue screen of death, nobody hears your screams |
