If...Then Statements in the XML

Concise description:
- Update the XML to allow map makers to use "if...then" statements.
Specifics:
- I have no clue how the site is coded, so I wouldn't know and specifics.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
- Options for new maps are diminishing. We need some new gameplay.
- An "if... then" statement can be used to do a whole ton of stuff. It would create more new gameplay possibilities than any other addition to the xml.

A batch of new XML updates is planned---probably before the end of the year. And as always, I think the Foundry Discussions forum has topics regarding requests/ideas for new XML options.

Yeah there are topics … but they've been locked for reasons unbeknownst to me and in spite of my arguments. Also, your "probably" implies in the 2011-13 range. *sigh*

Pretty sure no, Killing.
The C.A.'s have dredged through the suggestions of past, since the last major XML update, and I think Lack has already picked out which ones he will be doing, before the year is out.

Yeah. "If player holds tert a, +2 added;" "If player holds terts a and b, +2 added to a;" etc. Conditional phrases.

You need to suggest an example XML framework before this even gets looked at.
C.
For example
Code: Select all
<if>
<components>
<territory>dad</territory>
<territory>mum</territory>
</components>
<then>
<territory>
<name>dad</name>
<borders>
<border>john</border>
<border>james</border>
</border>
</territory>
<territory>
<name>mum</name>
<borders>
<border>john</border>
<border>james</border>
</border>
</territory>
</then>
</if>
<territory>
<name>dad</name>
<borders>
</border>
</territory>
<territory>
<name>mum</name>
<borders>
</border>
</territory>
In my example - dad and mum don't border their sons (James & John) unless you hold both of them...
