Released a version of civ2civ3_earth modpack for 3.1 (v2024_05). It is already available to install with the "modpack installer" tool shipped with freeciv. First post updated with the links to download manually from github. Future plans: * This might be the last version of the ruleset. Tha...

Oh, btw, civ2civ3 author bard has made a new ruleset civ2civ3_earth. It's sort of more experimental, but also advanced, version of civ2civ3, and available only as a custom modpack. The latest version of that has not yet been available in the modpack installer, as there's a bug in all released freec...

Thank you for the comments. I created this civ2civ3 ruleset (the first versions more than 10 years ago), but I must say that I have not made patches to this official version for some time, and I had no plans to change it in the future. Now that the ruleset is the defaut one, I do not feel entitled t...

Most of the ideas working well for single player setup wouldn't work for a multiplayer game. Partisans is a a good example of this. Very nice for a single player game but not that good for a multiplayer setup where the players try to find loopholes. I agree about the differences between single and ...

Yes, we don't have a way to test such a thing with our current enabler system. All you can do is put unit type or class in actor_reqs and filter its native terrains by target_reqs (e.g. "TerrainClass", "Local", "Land", TRUE; "TerrainType", "Mountains&quo...

I'm testing action enablers in v3.0, and I'm loving the new possibility to fine tune the attack and bombard actions, but there is something I'm being unable to implement: Is it possible to make units that can bombard non-native terrain, but they can not attack it? For example, a ship (native to ocea...

In my case, I like to check sandbox to see examples of how to implement new features, no matter if they fit civ2civ3 style/balance or not. If the implementation seems balanced for civ2civ3, I like to try to import it for my own version of the ruleset. If not, I still try to see if I could use some o...

Even when you prefer doing the update manually (for better formatted ruleset, preserving your comments etc), you may do parallel update with freeciv-ruleup, so you can check, for reference, how it updated certain part of the ruleset. Nice feature, I didn't know that ruledit tool was able to automat...

Every time I start modding a new version of freeciv, I read the whole topic "Changes in what a 3.x ruleset can do", and the wiki "How to update a ruleset from 3.x to 3.y". They are very useful. I recently ported my custom ruleset from 2.6 to 3.0 and the guide works like a charm. ...

Ah, ok, thanks. Then I suppose no further changes needed for v3.0. My comments were also ment about possibilities for future versions (either 3.1, or "earth" submod). I still don't know if people (and developers) want me to keep introducing changes to civ2civ3 ruleset now that is going to ...
