RE: [Xenocide-programming] XML facility-item data

[mamutas <ma...@pr...>]

Hi,

I finally had a chance to read XML and corresponding docs. I apologize for
such delay sincerely.

I want to mention here that I had very few comments. I found the overall
design very solid and well thought through.

Here are my comments:
-- Combatants XML --
1) how are we going to handle different purchase prices for the same type of
combatants? For example, each soldier could cost differently.
2) how are we going to handle market regulated sale price? For example, if
you have sold thousands of gray corpses, they really should cost less now
since the demand is lower...
3) are we going to have temporary stats modifiers? For example, after
soldier was stunned, all his stats are lowered and gradually increase with
time back to normal...
-- Facilities XML --
4) I think it would be easier to use the same time unit for all time related
attributes. Now, facilities uses days, transfers uses hours... Can't we use
hours everywhere? We can display them however we choose, but for data it
will be more uniform.
-- Planets XML --
5) Why do we have terrain attributes in political section of the planet?

Again... Great job! All hails Cpt. Boxershorts!!!

Regards,
mamutas

Well, since it looks like the ftp site got restored from a back up, the
previous link is bad.  I uploaded it again, as well as the unzipped
files.  I also added one more file I had missed...config.planets.xml.
It's designed to hold info for geodata.h
