update plain_battle

[JostP]

I made update for my plain battle map:
-more useful buildings (wall and fortress)
-6 meses in mine in each hunter's house

[Thomas--S]

I reviewed this and the update seems to be very promising.

I suggest to remove the doors and furnances from the hunter's houses. They don't work (because of missing metadata). This will confuse players.

I think that it would be easier for players if the directions were marked with red/blue wool. I think of the following places:

• The very center castle made of stonebrick
• The desert stonebrick castles
• Maybe the forest watchtowers

It might also be a good idea to place the old wooden castles from the previous version at the very empty, forest-less side of the map.

Wool mark, remove doors and furnaces

I think that using breakable wool with breakable structures might be a little bit better.

Furthermore, I'd prefer it, if the wool colors were visible in the inside room of the center stonebrick castle.

Are you going to re-add the wooden castles, too, as suggested above? It isn't mandatory, I'd only like to know whether you'll do this or not, so I know when this update is ready for merge.

I don't think this is a good idea, if players dig wool they can place it everywhere (on the enemy castle for example).

I will fix that

No, there won't be battles in the forest and I don't think we need it.

I don't agree with you here. Re-placing the wool can be used as a strategy, e.g. to irritate the enemy etc. It can also be used to mark additional structures.

Thanks :)

Ok. I only thought the old castles were to good to be deleted :)

But I can understand your point of view, and I'm totally fine with it.

👍 Very nice update! Thanks!

[JostP]

Thank you for review :).

I saw yesterday that gun (small black one) destroys wool. Wool is on castles at the middle, where players will shoot a lot. Maybe it's better idea to make wool indestructible?

Should I add 10_plain_battle.png to .conf file?

And should I add screenshots to karsthafen maps?

[ClobberXD]

Adding indestructible wool on top of a destructible castle would result in floating wool if and when the castle below is destroyed, and wouldn't look nice. If you want to make the wool indestructible, I suggest you make the castle indestructible too. Or you can just leave it as it is, either option is fine with me.

EDIT: Yes, please add screenshots (they should be exactly 600x400) to your Karsthafen PRs.

I definitely prefer the whole castles, including the wool, being destructible.
Destroying the wool with guns doesn't seem like a big problem to me.

I already prepared a screenshot for this update of Plain Battle, but feel free to include your own.

I quite like the new improvements. Great work 👍

I like your screenshot, I just wanted to ask if I have to add line 10_plain_battle.png to .conf file. Thank you for your review too ClobberXD.

@JostP Yes, please do add screenshot = 10_plain_battle.png to the map meta.
