another mod: choosing opponent picks. Idea from

https://github.com/kszyhoop/WarlightModPicksSwap

There's one difference though - you don't know what your opponent tried to give you, so if you steal any of his starts, you won't know where he is.

Mod suggestions:

Capture the flag. If a player loses their flagg, they are eliminated. One simple way to do this is to have commanders being unable to move. An option could also be that capturing someone's flagg, give you all their territories to you.

Several card mods would be cool too.

Nuke card, Bomb card now affects bordering territories.

BlitzKrieg Card - Order Priority makes ALL your orders happen before an opponent moves.

AirLift ATTACK - Airlift can now attack ANY territory, even if it is fogged.

Gift Late - Gift happens at the end of a turn, allowing attacks and transfers to be done first?

several other cards can be modded in interesting ways too. Thees are just examples.

Mod idea:

Adding people later in the game.
Like people could join an ongoing game.
Very useful for diplos, even for strategic games. Either a booted player can be replaced by someone else or someone can choose territories which can be gifted to said player. In diplos they could work as vasalls and make a never ending diplo.

Did you get that idea from me, or are we all having the same idea over and over? But yes, that would be god damn epic.

Adding people later in the game.

I love that idea. It makes diplos more realistic. I can say there's a revolution going on in part of the country, then gift some territories to a new player. Bam. New nation.

Some scrap ideas that for the most part do not sound too hard to put on a .lua file for any interested.

Commander related

1) Commander value editor
Edits the value of a Commander from 7 armies to whatever is seen fit

2) Bosses in Multiplayer
Enables the use of Bosses on Multiplayer games (commanders with health rather than a fixed single value)

3) Static commanders
Cancels all "move commander" actions upon commit

4) Maneuvering commanders
Multiattack is enabled for stacks with a commander attached

Bomb card related

1) Power slider
Slider that allows changing the power of the bomb card to be just 25% or maybe nuke the entire territory for 100%

2) Fallout bomb card
Applies a bomb card enough times to send it to the minimum possible army count/make it a neutral-0 territory

3) Bomb airlift
Consumes one airlift card to make a bomb card apply on any territory including non-bordering

4) Fixed power bomb card ("missile card?")
Bomb cards attack as if they are a set number of armies instead of killing a % of the enemies (e.g. bombs with a value of 15 would apply like invading the territory with 15 armies)

I am working on knyte's random bonus idea.
I have created the necassary functions to select new bonuses.
https://www.warlight.net/wiki/Mod_API_Reference:Game implies there will be commands for changing a map. Do they already exist and is it just the wiki that needs to be changed or is it just an idea?

There will be a lot of small mods. Are there some people who dont mind to merge them to have multiple mods at once?

https://www.warlight.net/wiki/Mod_API_Reference:Game implies there will be commands for changing a map.

That page is saying that data about the map is readable. That's there now, but it isn't writable, and isn't documented yet.

The MapDetails object will never be writable as that's specifically data about a map, which could be shared between many games.

In the next update we're adding the ability to set overridden bonuses, but only at game creation.

In the future, we hope to add the ability to override the income calculation, which would allow you to determine each player's income based on any formula you wish. I think that's what would be needed to do this idea. This hook is a ways down the list at the moment though.

- Maybe don't you plan to create a new sheet for the CLOTs idea too? ;)

What is the CLOTs idea?

Every uservoices which aren't in Fizzer's immediate roadmap :D
I mean those ones which is feasible using CLOT of course.

For example my ideas ;)

Making a CLOT for the Tour, in order that we can use these features:

• https://warlight.uservoice.com/forums/77051-warlight-features/suggestions/15523269-seeded-private-tournaments
  
• https://warlight.uservoice.com/forums/77051-warlight-features/suggestions/15523368-best-of-x-tournament-rounds
  
• https://warlight.uservoice.com/forums/77051-warlight-features/suggestions/15523563-bye-option-for-the-private-tournaments
  
• plus an advanced automatic invitation method for the Tour events
  I speak about an automatic event opt-in system, which would be based on the Ranking List and a Wild Card system, similar than now, but with many advanced features (for example the three above or advanced qualification system, etc.)
  
  
• But the biggest advantage of this CLOT would be the infinite (and realtime!) statistic possibilities.
  I mean, now, making statistics is a time-consuming process. But using CLOT, owning the databases, making statistics would mean only create queries, and after that update a stats only run the query.
  It would be possible making a realtime virtual Ranking List, where the results from ongoing events would be counted also for example. Or H2H statistics! But the possibilities are really endless!

I just finished coding the last feature for the next mod update. Running the test pass overnight and hopefully it will be deployed tomorrow.
