Initial Board Setup?

Post by SunTzu » Tue Jul 10, 2007 12:35 am

Is there a way to get the countries a player owns at the start of the game? It seems I can only get the countries at the start of a player's first turn.

The message(...) method will get called when you're attacked. So I would put a check both in there and in your first turn, check the countries on whichever gets hit first.

I actually found an easier way...

setPrefs() is called before any moves are made, and you can get the initial board conditions then.

I'm not sure that the countries have been assigned when setPrefs() is called, for example in selected countries games.

I see what you mean Bertrand...

Right now, though, I'm just building this for starting scenarios. I'll come back to that once I have the bot up & running.
