[glob2-devel] concept for building priorities

[Leo Wandersleb]

hi list

when talking about unit assignment, one should also deal with building 
priorities. i have a rather simple concept to improve that and would wonder what 
you think about it.

now: inns are more important than other buildings and there is no way for the 
player to change that. sometimes i have to forbid fruits so construction tasks 
get done at all.

my idea: a score for each building so high score buildings get selected first 
with buildings beeing garanteed to become top score if beeing ignored for too long.

go through the list of all buildings every timestep and assign it a score:
score += baseValueOfThatBuildingType * ( min( maxUnits, freeJobs ) - Units );

so an inn level 1 would maybe rise 15 for every free job and time step while a 
pool construction would rise 5.

now if a glob gets hired, the
score*=.95;
preventing scores to grow big.
