Communities are good. Back in the glory days of Civ2 there was a great thriving community on the old Apolyton forum - that's where I first got into doing the 1-city challenge. In addition to the Longturn community that Corbeau mentioned there is a (maybe smaller) community here on this forum. I love...

I investigated some more about changing the ui name for actions, and yes there are bugs, but I don't think they can be fixed. The help in supplied actions.ruleset files says - What each action should be called when showing them to the player. Using the "pillage" -> "raze" example...

Oops, that code example is for version 3.3, the version for 3.2 is

The code comments say - The barbarians are summoned at a randomly chosen place if: 1. It's not closer than MIN_UNREST_DIST and not further than MAX_U...

I like having that initial ambiguity of not knowing whether to go peaceful or aggressive - it makes the early game more interesting. One way to improve the initial scouting and info gathering is to have more Explorers as start units - the default ruleset gives one but you'd better not lose it to a b...

Since I play single-player I would like to see improvements in the AI.

Which ruleset are you using? In the default civ2civ3 ruleset, there's lines in actions.ruleset - attack_blocked_by = "Collect Ransom", "Capture Units", "Bombard", "Explode Nuclear", "Nuke City", "Nuke Units" which prevent a unit from attack...

Thanks, that was it. Had a hard time finding it because the granularity ruleset is in ../data/ but doesn't get installed by meson. Which is correct because granularity isn't meant for prime time. Which means adding the .png image to granularity isn't worthwhile, that would mean adding "b.brewer...
