They’re both games where you move around a grid of different tile types, and the one you’re standing on determines what you can do there. At this point you live or die by what tiles happen to be between you and it – if they all do 1 blue damage and the enemy has 4 blue health, you are dead.

Beta 11 was a huge milestone in Cogmind development, having completed a comprehensive review of all items and their stats and mechanics in order to rebalance where necessary, a process I wrote about in detail last year. Honestly that resource should get more use, and definitely would if Cogmind is developed long enough (there are Plans).

This is why Godot does not have the concept or distinction between prefabs and scenes. Additionally, by having higher level nodes, Godot does not have the concept of "scene settings", as these is done with nodes too. The result is a much greater ability to do composition than in a traditional ECS approach. Summing up.

The big change that always gets mentioned when going from Civ 4 to Civ 5 is one-unit-per-tile (1UPT), which is interesting as 1UPT is purely a mechanical – as opposed to thematic – change.

I do very occasionally add a little REX functionality here and there to cater to Cogmind needs (or REXPaint for that matter), but it’s been mature for like 12 years so there’s never been any huge developments in that time. Big chonker tile has arrived. No crashes, just big tiles. Enter: the quad.

Odds and Ends Gotta check every little thing, like the tiles-ASCII toggling animation, does that work? For the tileset animation I think it was as simple as having needed to set it to match whatever tile size the map is currently using, rather than always using the standard size.
