Crime and Law [IMPLEMENTED]

[raystuttgart]

If this version is fine, I will complete the buttons etc. ...

Honestly, the let us rather keep the other graphic I had attached.
(Without making it more corpulent - that was just a suggestion.)

It looks more unqiue and will not directly be confused with the Statesman. Also I think it looks pretty good.
(So let us just create a button and a 2D Europe graphic for it and that should do nicely without much additional effort.)

I really think that having the Judge look unique would be best for gameplay.
Otherwise we would have 3 Units looking too similar (Statesman, Emigrant and Judge)

 

[raystuttgart]

So finally I decided to use the basis of the statesmand and to give him a new head.

Why not use this new version as new "Statesman" graphic?
(Maybe making its coat blue again but keep the better looking face.)

I think it looks better than the current one.
Then we would make use of both great graphics:

1) The good looking unique graphics for the "Judge"
2) The improved graphic for the "Statesman"

I think that would be the optimal solution.

 

[raystuttgart]

Looks great.

@Schmiddie
For Crime and Law we could also create a small "secondary Building": Jail
(Similar to other small secondary Buildings like "Well" or "Graveyard".)

Would you like to create the graphics for it?
(Especially the 2D Europe graphic is often a bit tricky for me.)

Here is a first suggestion of a Jail Building I found in Civ4BTS.
Maybe it can be used to create our own Jail Building or at least serve as a base of work.

I have uploaded the files for it. Because it is not implemented yet, I could not test the size, CM size etc. I will do that after it is implemented.

@Schmiddie
I have implemented the Jail but I could not find your graphics or an ArtDef I could use.
(Are you sure that you also did a "Push" and not just a "Commit".)

Thus I was simply referencing the ArtDef of the Graveyard to implement it.
(But otherwise it is fully implemented so you can create the ArtDef and test everything.)

Here you can see where it is located in CityScreen.
(I was testing positioning and made sure that it generally worked.)

@Schmiddie
Thanks for finishing the Jail graphics.
It looks really nice.

Buildings make good progress...

Question: Do we need a Supreme Court?

I guess the legislation for the colonies was done in Europe, so I would leave out the Supreme Court and limit it to local jurisdiction.

 

[raystuttgart]

Do we need a Supreme Court?

All other important buildings also have a 4th level as "National Wonder".
Even the "Tavern" has the "Great Opera" and the School also has the "Great University".

We could also create a really cool event with it.
And for balancing it would really make sense.

So let us please also create the "Supreme Court".

Buildings make good progress...

Sounds awesome!

 

[Mr. ZorG]

Is it possible to make available the construction of the Supreme Court after the declaration of independence? it would be logical. but the question is the complexity of implementation. and as Ray would say - in motivation)

 

[raystuttgart]

Is it possible to make available the construction of the Supreme Court after the declaration of independence?

Actually I would not like that because I want to be able to build and use it way before that.
But if it is just about the name, we of course can call it different as long as it is still a "National Wonder".

 

[Schmiddie]

Graphics for "courthouse chain" fully implemented.

The judge can start his work... Be warned, criminals!

 

[raystuttgart]

Wonderful !!!
I will test right away.

The feature is thus fully implemented.

The only thing that can still be added to make it even more complete is a "Crime and Law Advisor Screen"
(That is already on our todo list - we just do not yet know when it may be implemented - hopefully still Release 4.0)

 

[Mr. ZorG]

Other Units can of course earn those Promotions as well by XP.

the description says that only melee units are able to get this promotion. however, I did not find in the colopaedia which units are melee. maybe add a description of the units (which are melee) or make it possible for both gunpowder and mounted units to get this promotion?

 

[raystuttgart]

however, I did not find in the colopaedia which units are melee.

In our colopedia you most of the time need to look into the Profession.
(Because most of our Combat System is based on Professions, not Units.)

Otherwise it is pretty obvious most of the time.
(Melee are the ones that do not use Guns.)

e.g. Here:

 

[raystuttgart]

or make it possible for both gunpowder and mounted units to get this promotion?

Yeah ok, I can do that as well, since it needs to be earned by XP for all others.

 

[Mr. ZorG]

In our colopedia you most of the time need to look into the Profession.

please forgive my inattention. I again forgot about the profession.

Yeah ok, I can do that as well, since it needs to be earned by XP for all others.

it will be a great solution (if I understand correctly.)

 

[raystuttgart]

it will be a great solution

Done.
See commit.
