Re: Art wanted for showcasing game engine features (2.6+)

My own edition of these four sprites to make them look better, by messing with the transparency of the borders. freecolstuff.png Thoughts? Sorry the late answer, I have been away for some time. I have tested your "freecolstuff" on game, and your version looks like a clear improvement to m...

Re: Art wanted for showcasing game engine features (2.6+)

Okay, the real thing for Amplio(2) is apparently the third row with shadows created by Gimp as explained in an earlier post with special credits to SilviaP for three animals. The storm in column 10 is no animal, you need it for your own ruleset, and adding it to Amplio(2) would not really help you....

Re: Discussing civ2civ3 changes in 2.6

I personally do not like the current implementation of movement on rivers either, and I'm glad to hear alternatives. I have not worked on civ2civ3 since the release of v2.6, but I would like to work on it again before the release of v3.0, and I'll take into account any comments that I find in the fo...

Re: AI in v2.6 beta0

I use to play on cheating difficulty where AI gets heavy bonuses to production, and I place all AIs in the same team so they never fight each other, only against me. There was a time where AI was not challenging for me, even with those big advantages. The comments in my first post were improvements ...

Re: AI is totally lame

I think AI requires some adjustments, but I do not think it is fair to call it lame. You must take into account that AI can take control of any player at any moment, so it must be able to play on the fly, without planned movements. I guess the AI must be coded as if you were playing a game where eac...

AI in v2.6 beta0

I have played a couple of games against the AI with v2.6 beta0 (civ2civ3 rules, and all AI traits to 50), and I have noticed nice improvements compared to previous versions: 1) The AIs expand pretty fast. They research triremes quickly and use to colonize void continents faster than me. They do not ...

Re: Qt feature request: Lock Interface button

Good job! qt it is becoming my favourite client to play freeciv. Things that I liked the most: - Customizable UI w...

Re: Difficulty settings as a new player

It uses to happen to new players, you surely can find similar threads in this forum. My opinion is that AI is good with some game mechanics that can make a huge difference if used properly, and new players do not use to know, even if they played civ2 (it happened to me). People use to suggest to sea...

Re: Errors when compiled from source

Thank you very much, my trunk compilation is working now that I removed all old files. I didn't realize that revert and autogen was not enough to get a clean install.
