Hi in Barbarians, if you conquer an area with water there is a big chance the fish is gone already, but not everywhere. perhaps the geolist can check for fish aswell, but only at the waterfront-line. if found aka seen the geolist could set a green flag, since thats a free colour. Especialy on large maps that can be a real help. I can TRY to make a flag and connect it to the fishcount, but to place it correct wll be a real challenge for me.

I like the idea, but I forsee a problem, geologist wander around in a random manner so might not go near the water, or worse may miss any fish nearby... Thoughts on this.... The aussies are coming, ya ho! ya ho!

no this is not any part of the code. +1 just means I am voting for having it.

This part can be implemented entirely in Lua: Just set the fish resource's I would additionally suggest a C++ change so that a flag built at the shore causes the geologist to specifically look at shore fields, like building it on a mountain already restricts him to mountain terrain. However I feel that looking for fish doesn't really make sense for a geologist, since fish are not minerals or other natural resource deposits (at least naturally, code-internally they are of course). Therefore a cautious -½ from me.

I agree on the concern about this to be illogical for a geologist. But what about a scout. They can be sent literlly anywhere as well and might detect and mark fish as a bypassing discovery.

Better yet, a flag (field?) action for shores to send a fisher to assess. He/she would then only examine shore nodes. However the check should probably consider all-water nodes too within the "mine" action's radius.

Hi, the +1 and -1/2 are opinions, ok. thanks for making this a nice discussion. Personaly i think if the geolist can find water then may be a fish can be spotted too. But to make it a task for the scout is possible aswell. tothxa mentions "mine-radius" , is the fish every where in the water? you cant put a flag on water. then how to define a shore? a road will form a bridge if there is water, that means there is some "shore detection" available
