Some of those are good, some rather meh, and some hard to do. I might use some... at some point. I'm not exactly coding a lot at this point.

As to your question, as I don't have a lot of time, perhaps the code yield sufficient explanation for once:

// depending on what happened in the battle, our mercs might complain or celebrate
void HandleDynamicOpinionBattleFinished( BOOLEAN fBattleWon )
{
	UINT32 ourlosses = 0;
	UINT32 enemylosses = 0;
	UINT32 oursidesize = 0;
	UINT32 enemysidesize = 0;
	
	// pick the 'leader' who gets all the praise (or blame, depending on how this went)
	UINT8 leaderid = GetBestMercLeaderInSector( SECTORX( gCurrentIncident.usSector ), SECTORY( gCurrentIncident.usSector ), (INT8)gCurrentIncident.usLevel );

	if ( leaderid != NOBODY )
	{
		// while it would be logical to also take civilian losses into account, this would lead to mercs always disapproving engaging hostile civilain factions like Kingpin and the Hicks
		for ( UINT16 i = 0; i < CAMPAIGNHISTORY_SD_CIV; ++i )
		{
			ourlosses += 10 * gCurrentIncident.usKills[i];
			ourlosses += gCurrentIncident.usWounds[i];
			ourlosses += 8 * gCurrentIncident.usPrisoners[i];		// having our side being captured is not quite as bad as having them killed

			oursidesize += gCurrentIncident.usParticipants[i];
		}

		for ( UINT16 i = CAMPAIGNHISTORY_SD_ENEMY_ADMIN; i < CAMPAIGNHISTORY_SD_MAX; ++i )
		{
			enemylosses += 10 * gCurrentIncident.usKills[i];
			enemylosses += 11 * gCurrentIncident.usPrisoners[i];	// capturing the enemy is even better than killing them

			enemysidesize += gCurrentIncident.usParticipants[i];
		}

		// if we've taken more losses than the enemy, our mercs will complain - even if we won. Our mercs don't seem to like phyrric victories...
		if ( ourlosses > enemylosses && ourlosses > 75 )
		{
			HandleDynamicOpinionChange( MercPtrs[leaderid], OPINIONEVENT_WORSTCOMMANDEREVER, TRUE, TRUE );
		}
		else
		{
			// our mercs praise their leader if
			// they won the battle
			// the enemy outnumbered them at least 2:1
			// the enemy had at least 4 times their losses
			// the enemy patrol was of significant size (this is supposed to be given for huge battles only)
			if ( fBattleWon && 2 * oursidesize < enemysidesize && 4 * ourlosses < enemylosses && enemylosses > 10 * gGameExternalOptions.iMaxEnemyGroupSize )
			{
				HandleDynamicOpinionChange( MercPtrs[leaderid], OPINIONEVENT_BESTCOMMANDEREVER, TRUE, TRUE );
			}
		}
	}
}



I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.

If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.
