Redwall race guide update suggestions

[Juska]

Fix the backwards race bonus code for Mercenaries, as things currently are a Marten can buy rats @ $280 and a Rat can sell them for upwards of $320. And apparently it's cheating if you do this even though it is because of a poorly written code that won't get fixed.

All promisance games (with the exception of v4.2+ QM Prom.) have a backwards bonus for the Market Race bonus. What I mean is that a Negative bonus gives that race higher Merc. buy prices, and higher Merc. Sell Prices. Whereas it should give higher Merc. Buy and Lower Merc. Sell. Because a lower selling price is actually a negative. A bonus to Market Race bonus should give Lower Merc. Buy prices and Higher Merc. Sell prices.

I had thought you knew what I was talking about, seeing as you replied to my post in that thread.

Yes - that race chart has had some changes made to it recently. In particular, check out the leadership and loyalty bonuses of a few races. There are other changes too, would need to ask windy for a full list.

I fixed the guide page, the race section pulls directly from the database.  The race page is always up to date.
There are differences in the turbo and reg races, the guide works properly and pulls the correct chart based on what server you're on.  The default, not logged in guide pulls from reg's database.  I made note of the changes a while back, http://windfish.org/racechart.gif   It should still be up to date, no promises though.

Bump. Anyone have anything to say about fixing the merc code?

Ideally I would like to combine mercs with the public market, while still allowing players to get instant cash. There is actually a lot of discussion in dev about the market, and I will see what I can do to get some of those posts into a place where everone can see them, but I need staff approval for that. Bear with me.

Don't do that....We want rwl to be different, but not absolutely different then every other promi game out there. The market and mercs need to stay seperate. Maybe change it up and make the stuff on the market unanimous, but don't combine them.

There is more to the idea than that, Ally. Still waiting on word about posting it though.
