Current land system as bonus or handicap for future land systems #9

Open NielsDebonne opened 7 years ago

There are situations where the current land system is a bonus for conversion to another land system. current Forest systems are clearly the best option to start a timber plantation, for example. Governments may also wish to eradicate certain land systems (shifting cultivation, for example) and therefore encourage their transition to other systems.

It is possible to play around with the allow matrix and the Lusconv to mimmick this but all these solutions are very 'Boolean' in nature.

A new feature could therefore give a bonus or handicap to cells having a certain land system, to be used in the calculation of competitivness of other land systems. This would be much like the neigborhood addition.
