I _could_ set up some sort of "message" order or something, that ran with the turn, but that would probably be slower than what you had in mind. Well, if they don't give an address, or use REVEAL FACTION, I guess they don't want to talk to you.

The questiong is, how much would it be used?

It would appear on your turn report as: MESSAGE FROM FACTION ### ....

Maybe the UNIT in the hex proper has to do the message with a MESSAGE HEX command. Nice way to send declarations of war. Have it show up on turn reports as something like: MESSAGE FROM FACTION ### FOR HEX XX,YY ...

IOW, I can't send a message from unit 0000 to unit 9999 if I don't see him. >MESSAGE FROM FACTION ### I think it should say what unit is talking, but it's not really neccessary to give away your faction. Remember, all orders come from some unit in your faction. You shouldn't really be able to send a message from a "faction" per se. >MESSAGE XX,YY Maybe a "POST" command to stake signs in your region. You could say something like UNIT 9999 POST "Hear ye, all units must pay 5 SIL per turn to Tax Collector Joe or suffer the wrath of the Dragon Horde..." I would say that only a unit from the faction that is guarding the region can POST. >Just some thoughts. I like it! Bruce Onder | We write and design computer games.
