As of the current Gamestate and the found Bugs I will surrender to stormax-e. Hi did his homework much better then I did, Congratulations!

I will spend the little time I have to check the new Map and to think about better strategies, now that I was confronted by the new ways of becoming attacked. I always thought about attacking only.

Hint for a campain: Replay the story of the Winkings attacking Lindisfane, as I felt just liek that: https://wikinger-online.de/lindisfarne/

They later event attacked Paris rowing up the Seine, so there is lots of stuff we can feed on.

You can find al the necessary files at my Bugreport https://github.com/widelands/widelands/issues/6085 Shall I still upload them to that other Thread?

And a big thanks to Norfreeese to spotting and fixing the Bug so fast! Naval Warwarfe is a big step for widelands an moves strategies to a new Level!

Here are the widelands where people may dwell, walking around care that evrythings well.

@Hasi50
sorry for you being sacked by some barbarian Vikings ;-). But I agree that with naval warfare Widelands feels like a diferent game.
For the sake of completenes I would love if you or @stormax-e could upload the replay to the other thread.

Meanwhile I decided about the second rounds map.

it will be "Together we're strong".

I produced a version with a river in the middle seggragating the start continent and uploaded it in a new version of my Naval tournament 2023 maps addon.

However I am unsure whether it is still balanced with these modifications and whether you might love to use the original one from our shipped maps.
As there is no gold on the starting island, shipping and protecting the shipping lines should be essential anyway.

Would be fine for me, maybe you want to rip apart that other Island, too? Balancing is not so important in this debugging phase, if you ask me,

I think that is no Problem, because we are currently in the first round and the second round has not started.
I vote that you can join the tournament.<br<

The news post says "Subscriptions are still possible until august 20th, 2023". And I'd look forward to having an opponent in the first round after all face-smile.png

I am more then happy to welcome a new player to our tournaments. So your opponent is @Nordfriese and you are playing red.
Player list and first round announcement will be updated immediately.

carli2 and I will play tomorrow Saturday August 19 at 20:00 CEST.

We'd like to use the latest revision of the navalwarfare branch. This should be replay-compatible with the Tournament version, but it is not network-compatible, so spectators cannot join our game with the Tournament version. Are there any objections to this?

well I think everybody should use the same version for each round, spectating easily is a feature of a tournament for me and I beleive many others, so please use the tournament branch as everybody else.

Ok point taken.

@carli2 and @ everyone who self-compiles: If there's a bug that annoys you and for which a fix exists already and is just not part of the last tournament version, you can include individual harmless patches in your build through cherry-picking them, e.g.

git cherry-pick 2d3546cf1e4491b4e8fa40dc4ba391c28917355d  # The stock menu crash race-condition
git cherry-pick 2c73aab1f3d663fb8b95bf706cf40386239f36ba  # Crash when loading invalid replay
git cherry-pick 51d4fee0045697e9a54eff72bb8573b5e3289883  # Input queue priority displays bug and LaunchMPG layouting with many clients
git cherry-pick 34db5c68243b2e3ba8b674898d3a550358ab50b0  # Segfault when changing game resolution in MP game

git cherry-pick fc234bf7d9a82a1428aacafa23ff9e72c8a062e1  # The race condition crash when mousing over a militarysite's
                                                          # soldier display while destroying/dismantling it.
                                                          # This is not yet approved and the commit belongs to fork branch
                                                          # Noordfrees:soldierlist-object-deletion-robustness

Obviously don't do that for patches that change game mechanics, such as the pending fixes to ship battles and soldier targets.
