Some more details, please?

Bugs were fixed for “illegal” actions

What does this mean?

Three “broken” Wonders were re-balanced to be useful again.

Which three?

Air unit “Unreachable exploits” were mildly corrected.

How?

Can someone clarify or confirm this? It seems that tech upkeep takes into account the number of bulbs acquired/produced/researched during the game, not the (base) cost of all the techs the nation is in possession of . This would mean that tech upkeep does not decrease if a tech is lost due to negati...

You may want to reduce the science completely. The right feel of LOTR is a scientific swamp. It's static and basically nothing changes in that regard.

If you mean bribing units, simply stack two or more on the same tile.

If you mean inciting cities, the not-100%-sure defence is having your diplomat in the city.

I'm not sure we are discussing the same thing. I'm saying that a Dragoon going around killing Workers shouldn't advance many - if any - veteran levels, while a Phalanx unit barely surviving the Dragoon attack should have a fair chance to get a veteran level, even if it didn't kill the Dragoon.

Well, it would move toward my request, but it would be a step back regarding Ignatus' fear of abuse (if I understood it right) and toward the present situation where you can build a large amount of cheap and weak units to train your (unofficial) ally's attack unit without him being in danger of los...

Let's get serious. So, I propose that the chance for veterancy gain is calculated as follows: A(ttacker) = Att_strength * HP * FP D(efender) = Def_strength * HP * FP Defender_vet_gain_chance = A / (A + D) Attacker_vet_gain_chance = D / (A + D) This would only be the BASE gain chance. It would be adj...

Would it be possible to implement one more setting, where a unit that doesn't kill can also gain experience? As of freeciv-3.0 that should have minimum changes to existing system, wouldn't it suffice to leave the only_killing_makes_veteran FALSE and to reduce veteran chance to offset the fact that ...

Would it be possible to implement one more setting, where a unit that doesn't kill can also gain experience? For example, a unit that survives against overwhelming odds should be awarded somehow (because they definitely gained experience). The criteria may be that the probability of gaining experien...

There was a lot of discussion on the Longturn Discord server(s) about this. Zoltan has already made some patches, but I'm not sure anymore which exactly. I think that now we have a unit- work -time. This means, if it's 10 hours, if a worker starts doing something 1 hour before TC, it will finish 9 h...
