[Quietly]

Well I was afraid of that...

In fact, (in anticipation of this rejection) I moved it over to the main board's "patch suggestions" thread earlier, and gave a description of how to can implement this behaviour state based...

In short, I didn't mean it to be like move and patrol. :-P I guess I was stretching a bit far to think it was self-explanatory.

In the search/move state, the mage either searches whatever province he is in, (if it makes sense to do so,) or chooses a nearby province to move to... much like the recurring state of cast ritual searching spell selects a monthly action based on given criteria.

I was hoping maybe there was an sdk, or perhaps some sort of applicable scripting option.

PS, I think there are plenty of systems still working under fortran (and hence probably work available in maintenance)... In spite of its age, it lingers places, since if it ain't broke, don't fix it. A bunch of our clients still using COBOL servers (same era right?) for sure, anyway.
