(Sorry for being quiet on this. I've been focusing on finally getting 2.6.0 out. I had previously hoped to include some of the new sprites in the 2.6.0 distribution, but didn't have spare effort and had to prioritise. I still hope to include them in some later 2.6.x. I've been more or less maintaini...

EDIT2: how to force Tribal as default initial government type? I found it, nation.ruleset, but when I changed default_government to "Tribal", ruleset error occurred for first nation Abkhaz, that it is not allowed (but I see nothing in Abkhaz ruleset, which would prevent such change). EDIT...

I confirm that the AI code shows no sign of understanding the Capturer, Capturable, or Bombarder flags -- it doesn't look for them at all. So yes, it's going to be stupid with them. The AI does have a bodyguard system (aiguard.c), so it might be relatively simple to teach the AI that Capturable unit...

The Windows builds are now up.

Re previous post: raised hrm #762838 and hrm #762839 to get these into git, thanks. Removed defunct nuke sprite(s) (Tileset uses a separate, single image) and pointed references to mushroom cloud sprite (Should these be completely removed for 2.6 or wait until 3.0?). These piecewise nuke sprites hav...

I've raised hrm #762836 for the select.png and grid.png updates, but the grid.png isn't obviously entirely an improvement? The shift of one of the red lines leaves gaps in the outline for me. (With the Gtk2 client. We don't have some sort of client-specific offset bug, do we?) hexemplio_20180531.gif

Relative to 2.5.x, 2.6.x includes a redesigned Qt client with multiplayer features, experimental map scaling, a substantially revised version of the ...

-> hrm bug #760420

I've reproduced your observation with 2.6, and I think I understand what is going on, if not why. When I change the city name and production font sizes in the options UI, I see my settings being saved to and loaded from the options file fine, and my size shows up in the UI after a reload, but is ign...

From 2.6, in the civ2 ruleset, diplomats can act directly from on board ships (at your request; gna #23604).

Other rulesets (including the default) still don't have this rule, but if you want to add it to a custom ruleset, studying the civ2 one should show how it is done.
