[Triplea-develop] Low Luck Research

[Matthias W. <we...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I'm new to triplea and triplea development, and I haven't subscribed to 
the list yet. I registered to the forum, but I'm not able to start a new 
topic. The error message is, that i have no permission to do that. Is 
that right?

I added low luck research rules by adding two additional options and 
some tech attachments to the game "revised.xml".

Here's what the patch is doing:
Two more options added to revised.xml
A bunch of tech attachments added to revised.xml
Changed order of tech activation to be the last step of a players turn 
in revised.xml.

Low luck research rule:
Instead of buying tech rolls, you can buy research points with the 
following prices:
1 research point:  5 IPC
2 research points: 12 IPC
3 research points: 22 IPC
4 research points: 36 IPC
5 research points: 55 IPC
6 research points: 80 IPC

Every player can cumulate research points for every tech. If the player 
has 4 or more research points at a tech, he can roll a dice. If the dice 
is less or equal to the number of research points, the tech is 
discovered. The research points are not reset to zero after rolling the 
dice (although they can be decremented by the second additional option), 
so you can repeat rolling a dice every turn without extra cost.

We are always playing with this low luck research rule, so we would 
greatly appreciate, if this patch could get integrated. Since i don't 
want to modify my work every new release of triplea. :-)

Please give us some feedback. The prices can not be adjusted at the 
moment, also the minimum number of research points you need to try a 
breakthrough.

Thanks for that great game!
Bye,
