Re: Galactic Ruleset

I suspect more techs won't really help without also more units, because I think I already held back on units to go with techs in order to get as far as I did. Not positive on that though as it has been so many years. I limited it to just a standard starship, a warbird, and a scout for each warp tech...

The Galactic Milieu has continued to chug along all these years, and another problem has become apparent: Running out of the numbers of techs and unit-types the system supports. It had been intended that after warp 1 through warp 9, giving interstellar travel of 1 to 9 parsecs, there would be two mo...

Re: Galactic Ruleset

Because Cochran's Flight (granted by the technology Warp Drive) gives two new technologies it opens a loophole once you colonise another planet: you could rapidly get two new technologies at a time by going on to the next planet and the next and so on and doing Cochran's Flight on each.

Re: Galactic Ruleset

Hi, I am back at last. :) The Galactic Milieu ( https://www.devtome.com/galactic_milieu ) is still active. As I have not updated the Galactic Ruleset for some time I am using a now-old version of FreeCiv to run it. It has now reached a point where there is enough Starship travel going on that my man...

The Galactic Ruleset still exists and is still available for download from the files area of the Galactic Milieu project's Sourceforge presence: https://sourceforge.net/projects/galacticmilieu/files/releases/ I have just done a first pass at updating it to work with Freeciv 2.4, not sure yet if I mi...
