Done with the individual nations; went a lot faster with a copy-paste from a concatenating column that auto-generated the "X", "X" code for me. Next step is rechecking all of the tilesets and .specs, then finally testing and implementation at 2.6.

19 --> 42/78 complete.

I tweaked the civ trait distributions to get rid of civs that aren't already present in freeciv (harappan, bushmen, etc.). However, I really want the akkadian empire as a playable civ (Imperial; Agricultural), so I'm also creating a ruleset for them that is virtually identical to sumerian. ...I'm ju...

updates to first post and todo progress. moving on to completing the individual nation.rulesets... all 78 of them...

It would be great fun to unify these ideas in the future (e.g. allow civ traits to narrow the range of randomly generated AI traits, or let RNG pick two traits and then drive hidden AI traits accordingly, or have RNG pick values for 12 traits and then set the trait combination to whatever the two h...

In 2.6, there are three hard-coded traits, Expanionist, Trader and Aggressive, though these aren't just present or absent, but have a numeric value that represents how strong they are in an AI. They can be tied to a specific nation (though they aren't, currently), but they're usually randomly selec...

Updated civ-trait list, only 6 missing nation/trait combinations remaining: Diplomatic + Naturalistic Industialistic + Philosophical Maritime + Scientific Mercantile + Protective Mercantile + Scientific Naturalistic + Philosophical Updated unit summary to show non-military units and add a few units ...

Root reqs can still be researched. Things that can Never be researched. The only useful purpose of which would have been to use as 'fake' advances, to give nations distinct units, buildings, and effects. Though, my memories of planning to use like that are rather fuzzy and indistinct. IIRC, there w...

The flavor text never quite lined up 100% with the actual machinery in effects/units/buildings.ruleset(s), as there were some things I wanted to do but couldn't figure out, and others I was just testing or was tweaking on the fly without doubling back to update the flavor text. from techs.ruleset: [...

Starting this topic for discussion on a mod that would add Civ Traits with bonuses to the entire 'Core' set of nations. See redmine issue# 765533 for what is almost a prerequisite feature request prior to wider implementation. I've done this in 2.6 already by manually cloning the nation files and tw...
