Not at Civ1. Attempts to move a unit in same cell as another nation's unit is always interpreted as an attack and cancels treaties if confirmed.

Their "register at" link appears to be broken...

One more.

When a city is taken/destroyed in civ1, units depending on that city are removed.
In freeciv they are just given another home.

Again, the ruleset does not appear to be able to change this.

Another difference.

When you unleash barbarians from a hut ; sometimes freeciv does not create barbs but just kills the unit. This is hardcoded in the unleash_barbarians function.
But it NEVER occurs in civ1.

Rapture growth actually makes the problem even worse : a large city with +1 food grows, gets +1 population, and is now at -1 food... I know, it's easy to handle, but nevertheless. Starving cities can also occur when enemies occupy the territory. So even if you can access to the city, you can just ob...

Same problem for me. I wanted to edit the ".serv" for my ruleset to emit commands that would choose the player and nation. But i didn't find any server command able to do that : create just renames the first AI player, take says already taken, start has no parameter and does not allow choo...

So basically if i want to provide two languages, i have to do two versions of each ruleset file and the user will choose ?
Ok, let's go for it then.

Still many things to fix/do ; seems my ruleset will never get finished
Nevertheless i wish to provide suitable help text ; i can easily do FR and EN versions. But how to integrate that ?
Must i do two versions of the ruleset ?
Or are there extra files to provide somewhere ?

This is just food for thoughts, not exactly a request. Sometimes one of req1/req2 is useless because the other already needs it indirectly. Maybe removing a few lines out of a somehow convoluted tech tree would make it a little more readable ? Known list of duplicate dependencies (as of civ2/classic...

Is there a reason you can't share also your ruleset? What sounds like a easy thing to debug (because of reproducibility) is going to be very hard hunt otherwise. Well, i could, but it's 2.5.x only so you can't test on 2.6+ (it DOES crash on 2.6 too, see below). So far, I haven't been able to reprod...
