Topic: New experimental tribe: Europeans

Really neat tribe. At first a bit intimidating but if you just dive in and try some common sense things (build basic building on small spaces to start) and then read what they need or can support and you're off to a good start.

One thing in the help seems wrong though. It looks like it says Reed Fields also make fruit. The upgrade building (Vineyard) seems to be needed for that instead.

Also I can confirm the shipyard bug. It simply refuses to build a ship no matter how many resources you have. It is falsely claiming shortages which do not exist.

Here are a few updates for my addon:

Due to the last discussion with the Sumatra addon, I have added my own type of rubber tree that does not overwrite the Amazons. This should eliminate conflicts with other addons. The shipyard bug is solved.

In addition, there is now a marketplace for food. I have revised the construction costs for various buildings. Otherwise, I have only optimized the economy here and there, no fundamental changes.

There is also a new special building, a guardhouse, which can be built on mining sites so that mountains can be conquered more easily.

Good stuff & thanks for the quick fix on the shipyards (it was fixed a month ago)

Ooooh I like the sounds of that guardhouse. Very clever, a military building that can be built on a mine spot. It fills my completionist obsession with taking every little bit of land. No gaps anymore, what a relief. (Nothing to do with gameplay, just a mania ; )

It should stay that way. All basic buildings should require all three types of building materials (stone, log, reed): stone for the base, wood for the walls and thatch for the roof. The reedyard should be built right at the beginning so that you always have enough of it.

What I have now changed is that I have outsourced the starting conditions for the AI ​​as a separate add-on. This way, they are not accidentally used by human players. This is because they use Lua code to automate the unlocking of buildings and a few upgrades that the game engine's AI does not do on its own. Also, "Discovery" is working again now, I removed some bugs.

The rest of the changes only affect the micromanagement of the economy. All special workers are now recruited from the basic workers. And the military expansion add-on no longer contains many small markets but only one large market. This is because the coins are not needed for training soldiers but only as collectible goods for the "collector" win condition or to buy raw materials in the large store. In the basic-addon, I removed the large market and replaced it with many smaller markets. The coins are needed there to recruit and train soldiers.

In the next few days I will publish an update that completes these changes. I did a bit of experimenting yesterday.

I have just downloaded the 3 Europeans Add-ons files. I have not read any of the documentation for these files so I do not know if the problem I have is created by me

I have been playing Widelands since the early 1990s and have used many different releases and played all of the tribes for many hours.

I have been building and sharing my Maps on Widelands since May of 2020, the first one being the following https://www.widelands.org/maps/eastwind-islands/

I currently have an Apple Mac mini with version 12.7.6 OS (Monterey). I have 16 GB of DDR4 memory.

I am using version 1.2.1 Release of Widelands.

** The Error **

Every time I move my mouse pointer to the Quarry building option on the Action window when trying to build a new building, Widelands crashes with the following error

[/Users/runner/work/widelands/widelands/src/wui/interactive_base.cc:69] Encountered unexpected Workareainfo size 4

Hope you can find and repair this error

Accept the challenge to excel with the humility to receive help.

Kool So we know what caused the error :-) I hope the builder of the tribe will read these posts and be able to work out how to fix it I have no knowledge of how to do this otherwise I would look at it myself. I will wait patiently
