Jurassic Park Manager 1.25

[purparisien]

Version 1.22:
-excavation sites are more visible
-add a collect closest fossil spell to the archeologist
-fix souvenir and costume shop models

 

[cleavinghammer]

Got a game crash at startup, then on another game that started normally but crashed after a long while (possibly a too-many-tourists issue).

-

I can see the pickaxe floating above the site but still not the site itself, and using Gather on the pickaxe doesn't work.

Fortunately "gather closest fossil" works. However, you should slightly reduce the region the excavations spawn in, sometimes they spawn in the cliff so the archeologists can't get to them.

-

Units told to follow a unit tend to not do it, moving to the unit and then not following it. I thought this was only an issue for the attack troops since they're not really "yours", but it also affects defensive troops.

What does the acid attack do on Swamp I rex? Also maybe give Cleaving Attack or splash damage as a body part option (the Desert head doesn't seem to do anything special).

Several times I've played now and rival parks (empty slots) can bankrupt themselves with no intervention on my part.

Rally-point flags are blank white, possibly the same issue as the souvenir shops.

-

Suggestion: have AI/empty parks send dinos (pure and mixed) at random, but only once the player has at least one defensive I rex since it's free for them.

Version 1.23:
-add destroy button on the experiment lab
-fix rally point and costume models
-AI custom dinosaurs can attack Parks
-fix a bug where IA players 4, 5, 6 would get units in trees and couldn't defend their invaded park
-fix various typo

 

[cleavinghammer]

AI parks still get killed as their troops won't go into the park when trained/spawned in response to a dinosaur breaking free (I won Annihilation in around 40 minutes without sending troops or spies because none of them did anything about their escaped dinos). Maybe give them turrets inside the park as part of their spawned buidlings? And/or maybe a new turret type that can only target dinosaurs and knocks them out without refunding them.

Didn't get attacked by dinos this time, but maybe the parks were too busy being dead.

Tips hero timer stops working after an Annihilation victory, possibly after a Capitalism victory as well. There's also no win button to end the map as with Capitalism.

Annihilation victory says attacks will stop, eco-terrorist attacks keep coming (of course by that point it's free money).

There's a terrorist ground unit (didn't see which one) that is classified as air and so isn't targeted by dinos.

If you switch from Security to Roads in the builder menus, the Experiment Lab is still there.

I rex shadows are too small.

 

[purparisien]

You are right. The other Parks were really braindead. I fixed the way they interact with angry dinosaurs. They should be more reactive.

Version 1.24:
-AI is more responsive when dinosaurs break loose
-add a victory button for annihilation mode
-experimental lab no longer appears on the road tab

 

[cleavinghammer]

OK, I think they're better at not getting wrecked by their own angry dinosaurs. However, I get a game crash while attacking, so I can't say if any had broken free yet (no army troops in the park).

Got a dino sent in an attack wave one time, and it was great.

Experiment lab sometimes gets a random unusable ability with Brilliance aura icon and no tooltip. Since there's also a green glow that occurs on it and some dino cages, I think the cages might have the same problem.

Archeologist needs a better icon, current looks more like a museum employee.

 

[purparisien]

Version 1.25:
-fossils rate of collect reduced from 10 to 5
-IA will contest the Fossil area
-fix archeologist icon
-fix minor bugs

 

[cleavinghammer]

5? Awwww. There should be an upgrade to increase collection rates then.

Yep, AI does send out people to build towers. So how do they get removed?

Head changing randomly stops working, leaving you stuck wih a Barrens head.

That's good, So I Think there is a Dinosaurs on the Map in Warcraft 3?
