Re: Middle-Earth multiplayer scenario

(Making this a separate thread within the thread...) As for the map: Maybe you can find a program that can give you a template for the map. I'll look! Btw, have you tested the Game of Thrones map called "Games of Freeciv"? No, where is this map hiding? Googling "Games of Freeciv"...

Re: Middle-Earth multiplayer scenario

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. You're right. We could simply have all players start on the fifth column of tech and immediately cap it. Also, we might want to consider making a sh...

Middle-Earth multiplayer scenario

Another post from me (seems I'm the squeaky wheel). I've gathered that some time ago there was a Europe scenario for multiplayer and that people had great fun with it. Would anyone be interested in a Middle-Earth scenario from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings ? There actually already is a Middle-Earth ma...

Thank you! (I already knew about the cities.)

Defence against bribery?

Another quick question: in standard multiplayer ruleset, is there any defence against bribery of units by diplomats/spies? Thanks! (I'm asking many questions because, well, in addition to being a chatty person, my friends and I played on a private server and our game designer had a lot of "hous...

Re: Freeciv shadow edition

Would have almost made sense if it had been from Fuzzydunlop, ruler of the Werewolves. Haha yes it would have been. I don't know what caused it, but if you liked it, just remove LAYER_TERRAIN1 handling from 2dcanvas/tilespec.js:fill_sprite_array. Or set terrains[x].graphic_str to an inexistent grap...

Freeciv shadow edition

When I logged into the multiplayer today there was this odd but oddly beautiful glitch. I can't show the entire screen because that would give away intel, but needless to say that irrigation, roads, etc. also looked oddly cool. Would be interesting to play a game on this design.

Re: Defence against cruise missiles?

In the classic rules, AEGIS cruisers should help for coastal cities. Land cities can't be protected AFAIK. That's ... kind of crazy. Jeeze, there are a lot of problems with the classic ruleset. (My opponent and I prefer to use the multiplayer setting; it was an accident that we ended up using class...

Defence against cruise missiles?

In the classic ruleset, is there any city-based defence against Cruise Missiles? SAM Batteries, SDI and the presence of various combinations of "unkillable stacks" (Spy + Stealth Fighter or Bomber + Mechanized Infantry) inside a city does nothing to stop them. Worse yet, in every simulatio...

Re: Nations with abilities

Probably, there is a reason it's an unpopular feature. Specific players heve more skill and/or fun with specific advantages, and there would be a pre-game race or dispute for taking an appropriate nation if theyir preferences overlap which nobody wants. Maybe different natons with similar advantage...
