******* Roadmap ******* Rough list of things to do before we can release 1.0. The versions are just so that we have some way of defining what we've done so far and what remains. No dates are set for the various versions. 0.50: * simple combat. Does not need to use all available modifiers nor be exactly realistic, as long as it works. 0.60: * framework for in-game sound effects * ending a game (when does a game end, how does it work) * working end-game screen 0.66: * fully working turnbased system that works as well as 0.60 0.70: * working scenario editor that can be used to create scenarios * loading/saving games * end-game screen should display statistics and a score * finish the new floating status, minimap and orders panes. 0.80: * simple AI client that does not crash, may even do something useful * better scenario management that makes installing scenarios easier, maybe a separate application (civil-admin) to take care of that? [DONE] * Updates to the XSLT for Docbook and the Scenario Format [DONE] * At least one good scenario (TM) 0.8x: * minor version increments as the tasks for 0.90 get completed. * simple server-side ai that makes units react to actions, i.e. making units fire back at suitable targets and retreat when overwhelmed. * Verify: does Line-Of-Sight work? * visual notification to the player when the action is being calculated or sent over the socket. * better combat that uses more of the modifiers, terrains, weapon stats etc. * Include the character level formatting for the FAQ section of the DB processing.
