Unlock cities every 5 years

[CallMeIcely]

When User defined scripts were introduced I asked for the ability to say lock 5 cities and then every 5 years one of the 5 cities gets unlocked until all are unlocked.

So that its essentially as new markets are opened up as the game advances. Can this be added please.

Not tied to goals or challenge games.Just be able to say have X number of cities locked and a city is unlocked every X number of years.

It is locked from AI and the player not just the player.

I do like the idea of locking cities away from the AI rather than just the human players. I think it should be added as a feature.

Also, it is actually possible to unlock a city after a certain number of years. Here is a script that does this. I tested it and it worked.

The following lines do this:
[SUBGOAL VALUES]
Number of Game Years Played=X
[SUBGOAL REWARDS]
Unlock city=Y

Code: Select all

[HEADER]
Title=City Test
Description=Unlock the city
Survival Mode=No
Reset All Settings=Yes

[ENVIRONMENT]

Game Starting Year=1990

[CITIES]

[SUBGOAL]
Goal Title=Expand to Tokyo
Goal Description=Wait a year
Goal Achieved Text=Tokyo is unlocked

[SUBGOAL VALUES]
Number of Game Years Played=1

[SUBGOAL REWARDS] 
Unlock city=Tokyo

^ what the above script it locks it away from human player but let AI have market and then make it available to human player?

A way to make the city that is locked random rather then specifically define it?

Also I hate the goal system the gamimifcation. I just want number of cities locked=X a cities unlock=X years.
