Further developments. The slow startup time with civ2civ3 has let me look into this in more detail. The case appears to be that ruleset startup processing is quite distinct for initial ('default') and subsequent rulesets: a. for the initial startup the ruleset name is hardcoded (I presume in the cli...

Road always on city center. Place (or replace) the following into script.lua in the civ1 ruleset: -- nef 2018/12/5 -- This lua script provides the feature in Civilization (Civ I) whereby -- a city when razed pillages all improvements on the city center tile. -- This defeats the exploit of getting a ...

Oh, and AI could not use railroads as more than just roads (as well as GOTOed units). This is so sick that I doubt if it woth putting in. (But well, how long ago one have played Civ1 not just out of nostalgie?) It's not just about movement. Railroad in Civ I also affects ALL tile produce. Many feat...

Or am I running slow? Been 7-8 minutes difference since I first noticed several weeks ago

Railroad auto on center. In Civ I you could not even use a settler to build a railroad on a city center tile but that was probably a mistake since you could build one first (and then found the city on it). Delete the following line flags = "AutoOnCityCenter" in the rule "[extra_railro...

Client/server issues. 27. Not changing the default value of "Handicapped" (in the start up window) results in the real default value of "Easy". 28. The *saved* server options are not honored if you change the ruleset to something other than the "default". The client los...

24. The fist showing city riot (in a foreign city) is typically not shown until there is some GUI activity on the tile. This includes something simple like clicking on the tile or something a little more subtle like changing the visibility count (from some +ve value so visibility is already extant)....
