Re: LaGOS - Large group online strategy

I'm slightly bored so I'm making up new words. So, there is singleplayer and there is multiplayer. Multiplayer can be "small-group" (Warcraft, Starcraft, any RTS), "massive" (WoW, Elite: Dangerous...) but what we are lacking is the one(s) in between. Therefore, I createth it. No...

Your favorite civilizations or moments

I haven't yet seen a thread here in the forum dedicated to players sharing screenshots or stories of their favorite or most interesting games, whether single-player, multi-player or play-by-mail sessions. For example, maybe you had a small and weak civilization, but the terrain was just gorgeous? Or...

Re: Making every unit a partisan

Maybe add crate unit like bouy. ... After turns drop to 0, crate will be destroyed. Units not supported by crate will be homeless and die, when hp drop to 0. This allows to make other things, like making beginning of a game more realistic. On beginning, each player will have one big crate and must ...

Re: International Freeciv Treaty Group

Sadly not, we didn't find enough people. Too bad. I have technical and RL difficulties using Discord, and when I can, truth is I avoid the main servers for Freeciv-Web. But I guess this Forum suffices as a main hub for all things Freeciv. It's definitely useful for archival purposes! A future Freec...

Re: A Treatise on the Weaponization of Balloons

No particular ruleset ... My hope was an integration into main stream freeciv so you could easily integrate the new units into your ruleset without manually having to add the graphics. Oh so these are just sprites and I would need to somehow create the actual unit? (I don't know how to do that, and...

Exciting! What was the ruleset to which this was going to be attached?

A Treatise on the Weaponization of Balloons

In the alternate universe of Hobbitopia, the Hobbits have established a vast empire in the face of an host of implaccable artificially intelligent foes. As part of their devious Sarumanesque plans for world domination, the Grand Imperial Mayorate of the Shire recruited Archmaester Petroglyphius (yea...

Re: Gamemaster powers

Lexxie, thank you for the reply and sorry it took me a while to respond. Let's see to the most important bits... 1. What exactly are the technological powers of a GM, I mean over the machinery of the game itself? The role of GM has zero power over "game machinery." Actions requiring game m...
