red dragon + elephant = +22 moral?

[TalonThorn]

Is this a display bug or does the red dragon's moral bonus add to the elephant's open terrain moral bonus, giving units in open terrain a +22 moral bonus? That is what my combat preview display shows in the game.

They don't add.

What combat preview are you talking about?

The button that lets you preview the combat stats for various terrains, outside of combat.

Ah, I never used it before

You are right, it's just displaying all the bonus's in raw format. It's not showing how they would actually *be* in combat.

Why is there a seperate piece of code for computing the bonuses anyway? Seems like a strange design from a programmer's point of view.

The battle is calculated on the server, and the preview-window is calculated on the client. So its two diffrent programming languages
Anyway, Ill try to take a look on the preview-window and see if it is working as intended.

That is actually a good answer. I thought the whole game was done in Javascript. May I ask what language you are using on the server?

[piranha]

PHP is used on the server

What's your DB Engine again?

We are using C# routines with SQL Server.

MySQL, PHP (no framework just our own), javascript in frontend with jquery. On the mobile I've used angularJS in the community frontend.

If I'd start another game project I'd look into using node.js with express on the server and mongoDB. Not sure I'd use angularJS or just handlebars.js and jquery in the front, I'd probably use famo.us as well to take advantage of GPUs for render performance. Underscore is also recommended for some nice functions that are missing in JS. I'd also take a closer look at meteor.js as a possible option to the MEAN stack (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node) which is great when you want to do realtime things.

Where do you work? What are you doing?
