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 ...

My idea is about introduce an unit direction information. Unit direction will change to direction directly to defender, while attacking(attack cost move point). 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...

That, I think, is most imortant part that should be worked on in Freeciv. With Traits fixed, there should also b...

I don't recall seeing any Freeciv tileset that puts dense vegetation on swamps. Personally, it just hadn't occurred to me to think of a mangrove swamp rather than a fen. (I currently live in the south-east of England, so for me a swamp starts out as a flat featureless soggy wasteland, then you empl...

Freeciv-2.5: In the actual ruleset, there's "description" (of limited length) in about section of game.ruleset. Players can access that from the menu: Help -> About Current Ruleset (word "Current" has been added since 2.5.1) Freeciv-2.6: There's both "summary" (works p...

I was wondering if there a way to add free text to .serv files, that would be shown on the server window along with the .serv options when you load the file? Or is it possible to open a separate info.txt file into server? When you're using modded ruleset, it would be nice inform possible other human...
