In that project, we had some unique challenges thanks to a non-square board where tiles were optional. In addition we had to consider tile heights – and whether or not a unit could jump as high as needed. In contrast, the pathfinding in this lesson will be for a 2D square board with no missing tiles.

This gives me freedom in level design and saves work making tiles… tileable. I export the rendered terrain from Blender as a RGBA image but with alpha value set to depth. The custom terrain shader uses the z-channel to draw water in lower areas of the level. Everything is just one big texture. So it’s RGBZ.

Although I imagine that for the most part the player will only be controlling medium sized units (which occupy a single tile), I also want to make A.I. Even worse is that our current iteration of the pathfinder does not include blocked tiles in its path map, so as it is now, I can’t see a path to an opponent.

With that preamble done and due praise given, it is all the more remarkable that one bad game mechanic has been preserved from version to version, tweaked perhaps, adjusted at times, but still as clumsy, fiddly, and unnecessary in 2021 as it was in 1991 – the system of placing citizens on tiles.
