They would have an easier time if they did. Otherwise, assuming that you listed normal unit tags for the alt tags, different units will look the same. (The other people could still tell the difference by middle clicking on the unit and looking at its name). If you are adding just a few units then if...

The normal solution is to make a custom tileset just for your mod. Then you tell the client that it should use your custom tileset for that mod. Like this: [tileset] prefered="<name of your tileset>" Then you can define what ever unit tags you need in the tileset and use them in the rulese...

In the default ruleset, unit upkeep is in shields (production). Under governments that are not Republic or Democracy you get a few free units with no upkeep. That city wasn't producing anything because it was spending all of its shields on unit upkeep, but it still didn't have enough so it had to di...

If you make a new rule set, and then add a rule like this: ; Make the AI more peacefull [effect_ai_love] name = "Gain_AI_Love" value = 50 reqs = { "type", "name", "range" } To the effects file, then the AI will tend towards peace and alliance more. You likely ...

The Freeciv AI seems to have done this for as long as I can remember, which is before version 2.0. However, the AI does seem to be less aggressive with less players total -- like about five players. I tend to play with many AI players so my memory may be biased towards that situation.

Looks good to me.

I saw that Apollo2 had graphics for refugee, but Trident didn't have one. Thus, I built one to increase the compatibility for mod creators.

It is built from scratch, but in the style of Trident.

Cite me as The Square Cow if you decide to use it.

I, for one, enjoy the concreteness of the Civ2 air combat model. If we wanted to enable more complex air engagements, then we could give bombers a fuel of 4 (So they can end 3 turns outside of a city) and fighters a fuel of 2 (ending one turn outside of a city). We would also halve the movement of b...

If you want to beat the AI to that wonder, then you may need to build caravans to get your entire nation's productive ability involved. (Buying the wonder also works and I think it would be cheaper than buying the caravans to build it from looking at the Math of Freeciv ) The other use for Freights ...

The number of cities depends on the size of the map. However, the AI does tend to put its cities as close as possible to each other. (If you don't like this, set minimum distance between cities to higher in the game options). I prefer to place my cites so their harvest areas don't over lap, but if t...
