another type of relationship between two countries

In Freeciv we have the various types of independent or equal relationships between two countries: war, cease fire, armistice, peace, or alliance. But what about a "vassal state" type of relationship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vassal_state . More common names are (according to wikipedia)...

Re: Generic build scripts

I have no idea how long the end of turn processing will take once I am in about 100 turns or 200 turns. So, I am about 100 turns in, playing the Europe scenario with 10 AI and 2 players. The end of turn processing is taking about 25 to 30 seconds after the game save and before the units start movin...

Re: Generic build scripts

Cazfi, I think your mint script works fine on a Raspberry Pi using Raspian as the OS. As I mentioned earlier, I manually installed each package that was listed in your mint script--it helped me learn Linux. Then I ran the script and once I got the parameters input correctly, the script did what it w...

Re: Generic build scripts

for all the Linux newbs like me, once you download the .sh file (it's like a .bat file in windows), there's one extra step that you have to do--you have to mark the .sh file as executable.

all of the packages installed using sudo apt-get package_name. I also did dpkg-query on each package before installing the package to make sure it wasn't installed already, a few were, most weren't.

Re: Generic build scripts

Cazfi, thanks for your hard work I have been reading your script and trying it out piece by piece on a Raspberry Pi (using Raspian as the OS). I am still doing all the sudo apt-get on the packages, one by one. I have one comment so far. Apt-get has twice recommended that I do a "sudo apt-get au...
