Military Influence

[nateberkopec]

• [x] Find dominant sides in clusters:
  • [x] Get civillian settlement clusters
  • [x] Filter civillian settlement clusters to a specific marker area (TAOR_MISSION_AO or similar)
  • [x] Get dominant side inside each cluster
• [ ] Create new C2IStar menu for displaying city status - status should show to player as UNKNOWN if they have no active intel on the area.
• [ ] Player should be able to build their own roadblocks, patrols or observation posts in an objective (which, in turn, provides military influence indirectly)
• [ ] Balance out AI so that while they'll try to recapture lost cities, they won't completely throw themselves onto the player's spear.

This is very ambitious and would be a lovely addition to ALiVE. Keep up the good work. Assuming the implementation of these features works well when tested, I'd love to see them supported organically (not sure if the goal here is official implementation or user applied script implementation).

[HeroesandvillainsOS]

Oh sorry, my apologies. I thought this was the official ALiVE Github.

[nateberkopec]

Ha! No problem. Once we get it up and running, we'd be happy to contribute it back to ALiVE anyway :D

[HeroesandvillainsOS]

Lol ok cool. I thought I embarrassed myself but we can just consider my post a feature request. :)

Keep up the good work.
