I did briefly consider the computational cost, but all the units are iterated through at the start of turn for healing and buff removal (e.g. Haste and Searing Light) anyway, so it seemed likely insignificant. Now that I think of it, having the promotion on all units is a better implementation since a unit may get the promotion at start of turn and then move out of borders. There's another corner case though - if the city with Nox Noctis is taken, gifted, or razed, all units of the old owner would have to lose the promotion immediately.

We can get around it by having the unit be invisible if:

It has the promotion && It's within its owner's borders && its owner has Nox Noctis && not in owner's city

And then clean up the promotions at the start of next turn? Or leave them there? Heh.

Probably clean up at the beginning of the next player's turn since the promo stops having an effect anyways...

(Final?) problem: what about the player capturing Nox Noctis? His units would have to get the promotion immediately to start getting the effect. Maybe we should just give every unit the promotion while Nox Noctis exists and leave it there.

I guess this case also applies on the turn that Nox Noctis is built.

Could either python up an on-built and on-capture script or set things up in the DLL to where it applies the promotion when a player gain bHidden (the noctis attribute).

Any chance you can get the Hyborem WS to work in MP?

How would you like it to work? Right now it doesn't work by virtue of design fiat (req checks to see if it's an MP game).

Similar to how it works in SP, I suppose. Press button, chose a city to take from whatever the game lists as options, then you get to either keep the city or raze it, same options as if you had captured it with troops.

Whoops- meant to post this in the New Leaders thread
