(all): Depend on info. Flatten info directory. This undoes the move to one subdirectory per chapter, which was done during Empire 2. The structure doesn't buy us much, as the info name space is flat, and it complicates makefiles. Overhaul info.pl: - It now wants to run in the root of the build tree. - Information on source files and subjects is now stored in makefiles, thus info.pl no longer picks up random junk from the file system. - Clean up Perl anachronisms, in particular use subroutine arguments and results rather than global variables where convenient. - Change format of diagnostics to the common format used by GNU tools, so that Emacs and the like can parse it. - Catch missing .SA. - When creating a new subject file, cowardly refuse to overwrite an existing file. - Subject files contain topics sorted by chapter, then by name. The order of chapters used to depend on how Perl sorts hash keys. Fix it.

A country is 'contacted' with a successful spy, look, coastwatch,
|
|
recon, skywatch, by catching spies, spotting planes or sighting ships,
|
|
by combat
|
|
or if you receive a telegram.
|
|
.s1
|
|
It possible for contact to be one sided. If you contact someone, they must
|
|
also contact you in order to obtain information from you. If you want someone
|
|
to be able to contact you, you can send them a telegram.
|
|

|
|
Tech and research bleed only comes from contacted countries, so it's in your
|
|
best interest to explore as much as possible.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Because of the difficulty of tracking past news, news cannot be used
|
|
with an argument under this option. Once the news is read, it cannot be
|
|
read again. This may change in the future.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If the LOSE_CONTACT option is in play, contact is lost after three
|
|
update of no contact. Contact can be maintained by the same methods described
|
|
above. It's important to note, however, that contact is retained by RECEIVING
|
|
a telegram, not sending one.
