World generation now aims at a fixed share of the ice-free tiles (60%) instead of a minimum continent count, bisecting the water level for it rather than sweeping every step, and still joins the ocean into one body. Ice and tundra are the outermost rows only, scaled down on small maps so the fixtures keep usable land.
Cities score their site, coastal plains best and landlocked worst, avoiding tundra and desert. Every nation that holds a coast gets a port city on each island it owns, and any landmass left empty is settled by the nearest nation, so no land starts unowned. A coastal city opens with a port already built.
Bundles the in-progress work in the tree: the commodity monthly price series and inflation the central bank's chart reads, and the rolling city-to-city migration graph the population map draws as flow arrows.
- Five resources (energy, steel, food, luxury, high-tech) with per-city stores, a world market, delivery and material upkeep.
- Resource-producing tile works built outside cities; every nation opens with the works its economy needs.
- Real game-icons.net art replacing the dummy icons for the new resources and works, with the credits updated.
The catalogue had grown a barracks, wartime shelters, an air-defense
battery, a warm-water port and a shipyard, but only as data: infantry
still trained without a barracks, shelters did nothing, and an airport was
just an airbase. Each building now names the rule it grants with a
`mechanic` id, so the simulation and the city panel describe the same
thing without magic strings.
- Barracks and shipyards open one more production line each. A line sticks
to one entry at full rate, so two units build at once rather than the
head absorbing every line; the base behaviour (one queue, overflow
carrying into the next entry) is unchanged.
- Wartime shelters keep 10% of civilians per level safe from bombardment
and are very hard to knock down, and ranged fire can now destroy a
building level outright, with no refund. Each building rolls its own
chance per point of damage, from a generator seeded off the world so a
bombardment replays identically.
- Air defense fires one volley at a hostile aircraft the moment it enters
the city tile, scaled by its level; a plane shot down never drops its
bombs.
- A port adds 1000 GDP per capita per level, per adjacent sea tile, to
every tile in its region.
- An airport draws a daily trickle of people from every other airport city
in the world, scaled by the destination's level.
- Wired the new effects into the city panel and taught the repeatable
Industrial Automation to satisfy other technologies' prerequisites.
Added tests for each mechanic and for the parallel lines.
- The bombardment overlay was rebuilt every animation frame, and each barrage
scanned the whole army to find its target (O(strikes x units)). It now
redraws at most at the renderer's 24 fps, reuses its SVG/DOM nodes, and
resolves garrisons from one per-snapshot tile index, so a high-refresh
display no longer makes a big battle worse.
- Route truncation had the same shape: every step of every route rescanned
every unit. The snapshot now buckets the army by tile once.
- Idle units no longer have identical left/top rewritten every frame, and the
whole-map fog buffer is rebuilt less often.
- Snapshot traffic: cityStats and visible are delta-encoded like territory and
population, city stats carry a content-hash version, tile ethnicity is
memoised, and a city's economy is derived once per broadcast instead of
twice. A per-peer civ change now forces a full snapshot, since the visible
set is per-viewer.
- Tile improvements (fortifications, radar towers, coastal cannons), trenches,
zone of control, support-unit capture and launch transports, with parabolic
barrage arcs drawn between attacker and target.
- Focused research that pours points straight into the chosen technology, with
per-technology progress kept when the focus changes, plus repeatable levels.
- Popularity reworked to integer points, war and pillage effects, minority
policies and month-over-month arrows on the nation summary.
- City progress bars, square improvement buttons, a technology tab of wide
short cards with progress bars, transport cargo readout and double-click to
open a city panel.
- aircraft attack orders fly a sortie to the target, bomb once, return to a
friendly airport and re-arm (two-day cooldown, charged per aircraft); rebasing
is bounded by fuel rather than the 10-tile combat radius
- artillery and warships open a sustained hourly bombardment on a standing
target, drawn as a red dashed line and ring while either endpoint is selected
- a game launched from localhost can enable a testing mode whose train and build
rows offer free, instant orders; the server only honours them for a loopback
admin in a testing game
- an open city panel now unlocks aircraft as soon as an airport finishes
- run_tests.js discovers and runs each *_test.js in its own worker process
(--jobs N to cap the pool, --file <name> for a single suite)
- GameState caches the deterministic terrain, city sites and road network by
(seed, mapConfig, civ count), rebuilding only the mutable per-game state
- the snapshot ships mapConfig and the client rebuilds terrain from it, so the
DOM tests can use the small map fixture and a non-default config renders right
- shortestPaths can stop once every target city is settled
Roads are pre-generated between cities with a greedy geometric spanner and flatten unit movement cost. City improvements now only affect the tiles their region controls, with per-region tax collection and a Cities tab. The budget is a grouped, scrollable table with 25%/year tax and a 10%-of-GDP opening treasury. Also merged the tile info into the city panel, kept conflict and budget expansion state across snapshots, added join notifications, filled border corners, drew battle sides as stacks and made tab overflow scroll.
