Re: Some Conceptual Ideas (Are They Good?)

I was checking some of the Lua functions present in FreeCiv. I found some that could be useful to implement the Secession mechanic I suggested. Here are some of them. - edit.create_player : Can be used to create the new player representing the nation formed by the seceeding city. - edit.transfer_cit...

Re: Some Conceptual Ideas (Are They Good?)

I like your lines of thinking, there's few good ideas I've been thinking as well. Thanks for all the answers (and sorry for such a late response). Jacew, I find some of your ideas interesting, they could be a better way to address the suggestions I mentioned. You mentioned playing with a ruleset, i...

Re: Some Conceptual Ideas (Are They Good?)

Thanks for the answers, everybody. but problem with this is that we can't take the information back, from the player (human), once we've released it When you say that, do you mean the problem lies more on the code, as in it would be very hard to change the system? About the human player easily deali...

Some Conceptual Ideas (Are They Good?)

This post is more about some mechanic ideas that I've seen being suggested for different 4x games on the web, I would like to know if they are possible and, most important, interesting gameplay-wise for a game like Freeciv. Really this post is more to see the opinions around these concepts and mecha...

Re: Newbie Modding Questions

I've been taking a look at the link about the Lua resources provided by cazfi. I haven't the chance to put it into practice yet, but reading the list let me give a very rough idea of how to implement the "revolting cities" feature. If I'm not mistaken, there are no specific Lua commands to...

Re: Newbie Modding Questions

Thanks for both answers. I will take a closer look at this Lua suggestion by cazfi, from what I've seen, it could reproduce some of the effects I would like to implement (but I will need to take a closer look in order to make sure). I do think that some of the changes I would like to make couldn't b...

Re: Newbie Modding Questions

Thanks for the info. I admit my interests were more in adding new mechanics to Freeciv, for single-player experience, but I figured some of them would require a more deeper tinkering the game than what is normally allowed. For example, I would like to change some settings involving Civil War (eg, a ...

Newbie Modding Questions

As I've said in other posts, I was reading about Mp2 Dragoon and I got interested in some of its features. I also understand that Freeciv is a "modular" program, composed of both server and client. I would like to know if is it possible to run the Mp2 client using the Freeciv local server ...

Re: MpII Dragoon non-web version

Yes, I just took a deeper look into it and apparently is web-based only. Kind of a shame, given that it has a lot of interesting features I would like to play around. Do you know if there is some ruleset with similar features for the non-web version? Or if there is another forum more dedicated to th...

MpII Dragoon non-web version

Is it possible to play Freeciv using the Multiplayer II Dragoon ruleset ( https://freeciv.fandom.com/wiki/Multiplayer_II:_Dragoon,_Game_Manual ) in my local computer, as if in a non-web game? I know this game can be played on freeciv-web, but I would like to give it a try and maybe personalize some ...
