Questions about PD and other

[Gandalf Parker]

Changes to PD involves alot of work. Ive recommended having the PD be local units instead of nationals. But the problem is that each level of PD has to be spelled out. So increased PD or fieldworks would have to at least involve a load of rewrite for each nation. It might happen if Kristoffer gets an interest in it but there is alot of other nation theme stuff that still needs filled in also.

I'd just like mod commands that allow PD to be reset on a point-basis. Like if you have a PD of 1-9 you get light militia, but 10-20 gives you heavy militia, and 21-30 gives you knights, etc. instead of being stuck to the 1-19, 20-125 system we have now. That way I could mod PD for the various nations that evolves and continues to be useful throughout a long game.

Sounds like the coding for it is messy :

Mind you, something like fieldworks could probably be fudged into the battlefield generation rather than the PD itself (simply check the PD and if it's > x, add X fieldworks to the battlefield)

Given that PD has remained pretty much unchanged since Dom 1 it would make a nice target for an overhaul should Dom 4 ever be in the works. Would certainly cause some rethinking of the traditional strategies at least.
