I thought of using lua to add Krakens and immediately thought that couldn't possibly work, but after reading your comment it occurred to me - what if I add them as Pirates instead of Animals? So I tried that and it doesn't work because at turn 1 (when you would use lua to add the Krakens), the Pirat...

I was seeing some similar issues in 3.1.5 using the qt client when the zoom level was changed. 3.2.0 has been looking OK.

Turns out the Storms were not working, so I had to re-do things, and updated my dropbox with corrected versions. The problem is that a terrain can have only one animal and the storm unit is implemented as an animal. So I had to deep-six the Krakens. Hopefully some day there will be an enhancement th...

Following up on the Medic & Mechanic - I showed those images to my wife and she said she could do better, so I said go for it. These are free and clear GPL license compliant. If you want to use them, use something like these lines in your units.spec file - 4, 4, "u.medic" ; Dee 4, 5, &...

there is a patch for it in Freeciv21.

Could you post that patch here? I'd like to see if I can incorporate it into the Freeciv code.

Spent some time trying to get this to work with regular freeciv but the differences are too great. Some comments after looking at the files - In units.ruleset, the help text for Caravan still talks about building a wonder but the unit doesn't have the "HelpWonder" flag. In game.ruleset, - ...

I missed the Freeciv21 bit, yes I'm using regular freeciv.

This looks cool and I will likely have more comments after I look at it deeper. I also implemented a fully fleshed out system of trade goods in my dino2 ruleset, and want to compare the implementation details. I was not able to actually try it in a game, got error messages - Could not find included ...
