It's been quite a while since I've been in this forum, or even played freeciv. Anyway, I think I need to answer this... Sun Tzu's War Academy and Great Wall are among the most valuable wonders for me: Barracks are expensive -> When you maximize the science and try to hold against enemy, or even inva...

Is there an option to modify/remove units ZOC? I just ended up a game where I was stationed on a narrow between two continents. An army of peaceful caravans and diplomats managed to cripple my entire empire by passing through in endless stream. Very annoying, and it really doesn't make much sense fo...

Against AI, expanding fast, building as many cities as possible and conguering as much land as possible is sure way to victory. I always play with Cheating AI because with that cutthroat style, AI on Hard-level gives no competition.

About Windows related testing. Has there been any progress with this:

bug:23861

Problem has to be with changes in 2.5.1 because version 2.5.0 works.

EDIT: To clarify the problem. Network game works. Trying to start a local game, scenario or load a local game; Client hangs up on main screen.

Representing citys populace could be significantly improved by weighting it against food in granary to produce more fluid and nicer population growth. My idea was to tweak the original function, but after a long trial and error with unsatisfactory results I gave up and made my own. Original Freeciv ...

Unit direction has been there since freeciv-2.4, but the only tileset having separate sprites for each orientation is cimpletoon. What? Is...

That's great.

Killstack is realistic. Imagine drops build a camp and what? Only some units will stay alert in this camp. Other units are rest, The units on alert would raise an alarm and all troops would go to fight I think? Anyway, reasoning that is a bit redundant. Since Civs "unit" consist probably ...

I am against killstacks because they aren't realistic. Its not like an entire army will just lay down and die when one of their defensive units dies. And its also unrealistic to suggest that "if they can beat this, they can beat the others just as easily" because More Dakka really does wo...

but my experience has been that like with any AI related rule change, one should not change it much from the default or the AI breaks completely. So Traits are currently rather unusable? That, I think, is most imortant part that should be worked on in Freeciv. With Traits fixed, there should also b...
