I have received a progress report from high command. I very excited to announce substantial work has been done on the War Map.

The Boss has given me permission to post this.

Here is the first 4 weeks progress report, and plan for the next month (till the 18th):

Module / Requirement planning
Duration: 4th Nov - 13th Nov
- Planned the global and sector map particulars.
What goes where, what variables etc need to be sent / recieved / updated.
Basic GUI design.

- Modulised the global map (warmap)
Coding term for 'Planning the building blocks'

- Identified [basic] actions that can be done on the global map
Eg, Deploy comany, Increase intel, 'Activate' for the turn, Suggest invasion plans etc

- Identified Warmap turn sequencing
Created the final ruleset for how sectors can behave - contested, in control, being 'taken over', what happens to the players when in a sector that they just lost etc.

- Basic 'Intel' and 'Spying' mechanics planned out
A system where playing one faction only allows you certain actions (for that faction), yet also allows you to play games for the other side, and giving 'Spy' type actions you can use to benefit 'your' faction.

- Turn recording system identified
Each turn will be 'recorded' in such a way that people will be able to view past turns and see the outcome.

Initial Warmap page construction
Duration: 14th Nov - 19th Nov (Delayed due to doctrine rework coding)
- Global Map display
Global map can now display the map image, sectors and routes between sectors.

- Action buttons
Actions that can be displayed on the global level
[Delayed]

- Warpage chat
A factional / global chat system that also shows battleroom chat
[Delayed]

This timeline is actually quite accurate, Im doing the old 'From when I wake, till when I sleep' time management system lol!
(Like back in 2008 ;p)  Those were the days eh salan?

[salan]

Haha I've been working pretty much non-stop on the doctrines. So far, its taken me on average between 18-24 hours each doctrine.

Well the difference then was that the doctrines were a lot simpler (one buff on a few units) - not the plethora of multi-buffs thats now been concocted ;P

HURRAH!
