Chainsaw 3 added the designate cost along with extra build cost and
materials, and used both to make fortresses expensive. Unlike build
cost and materials, the cost to designate didn't pass the test of
time: it was set to zero in Empire 2. Get rid of it.
sect-chr selector cost and struct dchrstr member d_cost have to stay,
because they're still used to configure whether a sector may be
designated by players (see commit 8d792e1).

In Empire all sectors have a \*Qdesignation\*U.
|
|
The \*Qdesignation\*U represents the principal industry or activity
|
|
taking place in that area.
|
|
When a sector is designated a harbor, for example,
|
|
the civilians in the sector start building shipyards and docks,
|
|
(with a little help from any military present).
|
|
.s1
|
|
If the redesignated sector is already declared to be something else,
|
|
and is efficient, then the workers will have to tear down the existing
|
|
construction and then build the new sector.
|
|
The workers dismantle existing sectors four times faster than they
|
|
can build.
|
|
.s1
|
|
As work progresses the efficiency will climb toward a maximum of 100%.
|
|
.s1
|
|
If you don't specify the <DESIGNATION> argument
|
|
in the command line as in:
|
|
.EX designate 1:3,2:5
|
|
The program will ask for each sector specified
|
|
what you want the new sector designation to be.
|
|
.s1
|
|
However, if you wish to designate one or several
|
|
sectors to be one particular thing and don't want to
|
|
be asked on each one you can type something like:
|
|
.EX designate -6:6,-3:3 ?type=f +
|
|
This will designate all fortresses that you own within
|
|
three sectors of your capital to be highways.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Note that you cannot re-designate bridge spans.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Normally, each point of efficiency added costs you $1. Some sectors
|
|
may cost more, and some may also require the expenditure of lcms and/or
|
|
hcms from the sector. See the \*Qshow\*U command and \*Qinfo
|
|
Sector-types\*U for details.
