Re: 2.5 rc playtest experience

I recently tried 2.5.1-gtk2, but I quickly found a problem. This new version does not properly save the user settings put into "More Game Options" at the start of a new game, so the next new game always starts with the default settings. Does anyone have a work around to save the "More...

Re: Wonder-full world

Adamo, your English is flawless, and your thoughtful idea is well presented, but it is a solution to a problem I do not have. I develop trade early in the game, and then I have cities build caravans. More productive cities build caravans more quickly, but that does not mean the more productive city ...

Re: Why great library is so hard

Great Library is a Must Have wonder for me. I get Trade early, and then my cities can work on Caravans while I research Literacy. After I build essential settlers, I also enable the Govenor to Max Science in cities larger than 1. That reduces the city rate of growth, but it also spikes my science pr...

Re: Number of units selector in unit selection dialog

A number of units selector would be useful for me too. When there is nothing useful for workers to do, I stack and sentry them in one place. Then the inevitable pollution outbreaks require me to send several workers to clean each polluted site. Now I must double click each worker that I want to awak...

Re: People are joining my game

Not sure how to play the game offline. Do a web search for freeciv download. Freeciv-2.4.2-win32-gtk2-setup.exe is the installer for the latest version of Freeciv on a Windows computer. With a different system, you will need to choose a different installer. Install on your computer, and play as lon...

Live by the Huts, die by the Huts!

The grab bag surprises one finds when entering huts are lots of fun. Huts frequently offer gold, and sometimes provide scientific advances. :D What could be wrong with the hut freebies? Well, those same huts provide rewards to the AI opponents too. :( Even worse, the AI does not enter huts early in ...

Re: Bugs and irritations

I was just returning to tell everyone that there is a ".Patch 0001" file at that link to fix this problem. :D Now, can someone tell me where to put this .Patch file? :?: (Be nice, please :twisted: ) I have not yet been able to find out what to do with a .Patch file, so any suggestions woul...
