As you may know, a lot of goals have things in common, and there are repeated types of goals that function in similar ways. Let me give some additional detail for what is going on with victory goals. Those posts are from here, and I think it's better to follow that thread for updates.

Transition from scenarios to custom gamesД¬lick to expand.Still is still an accurate summary of what the status and plans are.

#Dawn of victory mod code#

Clean up and improve Rise and Fall code.So, taking the list from above, the new priority list is: Unifying these events should simplify the code and improve at least some of those events by bringing them up to par with the rest.

Also almost every one of them does one thing better than others, for instance the Mongol conquerors had a neat algorithm to make units spawn at the borders coming from the right 'direction'. However, they all use completely different code which makes fixing issues hard. what triggers them and if the player can benefit from them), they have a lot in common, such as figuring out where to place units in a way that makes sense. While they are different to some extent (e.g. When fixing some issues, I noticed that the game at this point has many different 'scripted spawns' of various types, for example: time based conqueror events (Greeks, Romans, Seljuks.), contact based conqueror events (New World conquistadors, Mongol conquerors), building/tech based conquerors (Trading Company event), tech based settlers/conquerors (Russian far east and American west coast), maybe more that I am forgetting right now.

Then, there's another additional thing I will be doing.

I realised this is actually necessary to untie civs from slots completely and will also solve some other problems, and I will learn things that are needed later on.

Instead of moving on to what is point 1 above, instead I decided to do point 4 marked as 'optional' first.

Point 0 is now done for the most part, of course there are probably still bugs somewhere but it seems we are past the growing pains phase of the transition.

The plans have changed slightly since then: So, I don't think I have said this outright but I am now back to working on this.
