Not in the usual sense, although you could build a transport helicopter unit in units.rulesets. Certainly that's how it would be done in real life - airliners don't usually have the frame to handle catapults or wire-assisted landing.

At the moment lua scripting interface does not provide complete access to game data, but things have been added in priority order. Since you have a real need for this feature, please open a wishlist (Severity: Wish) ticket about it: http://gna.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=freeciv This one is pr...

Hey there, Thanks for reading this message. I was just about to start coding LUA script for the first time in order to add an additional effect of a new form of government I made that isn't supported by the effects triggers (another way a Civil War can occur) and can't seem to find any information a...

In short, I would say you should stop asking what's reasonable and start making the best decision given what you have. To be more specific though, I'd say that your city building strategy depends upon your starting position at the beginning of the game. If your starting capital has the potential for...

Have it appear in the help file for governments a, b & c then After which a government may get "...provides bonus x with building a...", "...provides bonus x with building b...", "...provides bonus x with building c..." Anyway, even if we can't completely switch to...

Works in easy cases, but last time I looked that possibility, complex cases were very bad. For example multiple effects, but with a bit different other requirement adding practically the same text multiple times ("...provides bonus x under government a...", "...provides bonus x under...

I know a lot of you are talking about enslaving your own citizens, but in practice, NO historic society actually enslaved its own people, unless you count enslaving domestic nations that were in rebellion. They went to Africa, or Russia, or enslaved native peoples. Slavery in Africa largely started ...

I would actually group Monarch with Communism and Despotism: It's totalitarian. No monarchy in the history of the world has EVER been totalitarian. HM Abdullah of Saudi Arabia cares not what you ate for breakfast this morning, and even the basic establishment of monarchy (inheritance) requires a fa...

The idea of Republic and Democracy (and, somehow, even Monarchy) is that you can develop science and culture easier, because these are more effective. The Confederacy did. They even invented submarines, armored warships and light industry over the course of the Civil War. So did the United States p...

Slavery? Yeah, I thought about that. Every form of government has its own advantages and disadvantages. Slavery should be allowed in most primitive (Despotism) or totalitarian (Communism) forms of government. In the other govs, the slavery should be banned. Both the early American and Roman Republi...
