Re: A small tweak to combat mehanics that would change a lot

So you want to take Combat as a hostage until economy and everything else is upgraded first? :P What I propose is, technically, a very minor tweak rule-wise. It would have large consequences on how combat is planned and executed, though. Also, I just thought of a variant that would drastically decre...

Re: A small tweak to combat mehanics that would change a lot

the current rule is also a game design choice Wait, which "game design" are you talking about? FreeCiv or Civ 1? Because I highly doubt that this was a choice. For Civ 1 it was simply convenience and for all others tradition. So, yeah, this proposal is taking a significant step away from ...

Re: A small tweak to combat mehanics that would change a lot

Why not both? Also, taking emphasis on the "big picture" (strategy) makes it harder to have turning points. Once someone is on top, the less options there are, the more difficult it is to overthrow him. Increasing options gives more paths to victory, gives more choices. I believe that is a...

A small tweak to combat mehanics that would change a lot

With the present mechanics, when combat occurs, attack/defence numbers of units are compared, a dice is rolled, whoever wins, inflicts damage on the opponent, repeat until one dies. Proposal: change the "repeat until one dies" part. In other words, give a reasonable chance for a unit to su...

Re: Classic Civilization 1+Civilization 2 Tilesets for Freec

I'm guessing it's probably copyrighted so nobody would want to publicise it, even if it existed. But you can very easily make your own copy. I believe you don't need anything except Paint (or equivalent if you're not using Windows).

Re: Linux?

Thanks. Is there an idiot's guide anywhere how to do this, by any chance? (An additional problem is: I'm trying to get it run on a cPanel and I can't get SSH to work, but this is not the right place to ask about this, is it? I could probably solve any of the problems once I get in, but the catch is ...
