Dom4? I know that the Illwinter devs are on a new project but I seem to remember something about it NOT being a Dominions development.

Yes, I know their current project is something new... that's why it'll be at least 5 years before we see DOM_4.

Actually thats already been licked. Its done by the sequence of commands. Assigning units, THEN castle, then more units.

Are you saying the units on top of the castle will actually PATROL... thus catching scouts, spys and assassins?? Or will they just sit on top ?

The #patrol would work for stopping sneaking armies, scouts, spys, etc., ... and thus still needed.

sounds like we still need #patrol

True. But at least you can put castles onto a map without them being freebies. The old way and you could take them with a scout because everyone ran inside the castle. You could tax the province to death without ever bothering to try and take the castle.

The main reason for #patrol is so it's possible to create maps which prevent human players from sneaking armies and assassins during early game.


I've created several maps with one army on the outside and one on the inside.
