Feedback on scripts tutorial

[Hyronymus77]

By following the scripts tutorial at https://www.capitalismlab.com/scripts/ I think I got a working script. When following the tutorial I came across a few options that weren't (clearly) explained or were missing an essential part. For future wannabe scripters it might be good to update the following script options:

• Retail Store Type: Although this is perfectly clear it isn't a selectable option in the custom game settings;
• Technology Disruption: Lacks a warning how Product Customization affects its setting;
• Macro Economy Realism: Lacks a description and isn't a selectable option in the custom game settings;
• Consumer Goods Seaport and Industrial Goods Seaport appear both under Imports/Products and under Cities;
• Natural Resources Price Premium has an unclear effect despite the provided link to https://www.capitalismlab.com/improveme ... resources/;
• Fixed Brand Strategy and Corporate Brand Rating are introduced in the example special rules script and aren't selectable options in the custom game settings, what do they do?;
• Combine the Locks and Unlocks tutorials, now you stumble upon Unlocks via https://www.capitalismlab.com/scripts/script-cities/ where a link to Locks at https://www.capitalismlab.com/scripts/s ... penalties/ is given (but strangely not to https://www.capitalismlab.com/scripts/script-locks/).

EDIT #1: I dsicovered that Real Wage Rate only applies to the city it is placed after directly. I had this code in my script:

Code: Select all

[CITIES]
City=Rotterdam
City=Glasgow
City=Hamburg
City=Copenhagen

Real Wage Rate=50

After wondering why it was always Copenhagen that had cheap labour I experimented a bit and found that you can actually specify it per city:

Code: Select all

[CITIES]
City=Rotterdam
Real Wage Rate=50
City=Glasgow
City=Hamburg
Real Wage Rate=70
City=Copenhagen

Since the tutorial at https://www.capitalismlab.com/scripts/script-cities/ doesn't explain anything about Real Wage Rate nor has an example script I like to suggest to add an example script with more detailed information on how the city options work.
