In CivIII, a barbarian unit hitting an undefended city does those actions: Destroy building/production (if any), Plunder gold (depending on city number, around 15 for 10 cities, until your treasury is empty), Kill a citizen (probably, not the last one). The problems to solve about reproducing this b...

Action: Heal Unit in range Can promote Effect: Heal unit immediately (And gain experience with that) Easy to do... but alas yet not done in hard code part, we don't have convenient ways of multitile actions other than nuking, health manipulation and promotion control. For healing a unit, you probab...

Like, for effects of 1 turn duration you can put an extra with disappearance chance 10000. If I see it correctly, extras disappear after all turn's cities collect their production points.

it uses Ruins graphics. You likely want to change also your tileset to have an "invisible" extra gfx Well, in 3.1 you can as well use negative visibility_req, but I'm afraid it will make some data in client irrelevant, so better yes, get opaque sprite. Maybe we can ever allow spriteless e...

Maybe a building that is not otherwise buildable. That would better show up in the city dialog. Yes. Like, we could put a requirement {"type", "name", "range", "present" "None", "", "Local", FALSE} into "Reduced Crime" ...

local id_unit = actor.getId() That's from some other API, ours has actor.id And that won't work if you need ids before you run the action. Likely, you can get ids with something like (sorry, didn't test ) for p in players_iterate() do notify.all("%s's units:", p.name) for u in p:units_ite...

but of course this is not the correct way: /lua cmd find.unit("Marshall"):perform_action("User Action 1") I meant, use chat window to test if the action works at all even if not shown in the interface. Place a marshall next to a city, record ids of the marshall unit (say, 1234) ...

Can you show me how the 'Disrupt Supply Lines' works? It never showed this option for me! That function in sandbox works by "Action_Success_Target_Move_Cost" effect. That one is an action-based effect that subtracts movement fragments from the target, so Lua does only notification. You ca...

Hmm. I can't see why does not the action show in the dialog, but the effect just does not work this way. You have to put some extra or building with the action (using a Lua callback) to actually influence the city outputs, and make requirements of the effects towards that thing.

Could you open a ticket (or tickets) about all this, as you clearly know the situation better than I do. You are overestimating me much :roll: , actually I wrote that all not looking into code, just reading the supplied bug description and recalling what I have dealed with long ago. In fact, I have...
