So if we were to release 2.6.7 summer 2022, it (client at least, if no server updates to a running game) would still be used by longturn people for about six months.

Also: I think that code-wise S3_0 is quite ready for the 3.0.0 release already, but we could use a contributor who could improve (in some cases create) various helptexts and descriptions. Current team has no native English speaker at all.

With those earlier versions the final releases were made mostly for the benefit of longturn.net (don't know if they then actually used those releases, but they were the reason given for the releases anyway) as they were somewhat slow to adopt their servers to newer branches.

That's not the format to define server settings in a .sav. See patch for the british isles scenario in that ticket.

New Windows (msys1) snapshot build from freeciv-2.6 28-Sep-21 sources (2.6.5+-210928), commit '840581139a', available. It's available from http://files.freeciv.org/packages/windo ... snapshots/

Raised a ticket about the British isles problem: https://osdn.net/projects/freeciv/ticket/42939

Edit 3: The exact same thing happens with the British Isles scenario. It has 5 tribes configured with 5 start positions yet as I start the scenario, it shows 5 players as "random", then at turn zero the English are up against the South Koreans and whatnot. Weird. I looked at that, and the...
