What about :movement_disallow() method?

There is "Convert" action that you can see for Leader unit in Webperimental ruleset that changes its type from land to sea or back, but it won't work if the unit is on tile inappropriate for its target type, or if it is in transport not suitable for the target tile. I.e., Leader can conver...

An excellent finding and masterpiece of hacking! Reallly, I have tried something like this when I needed but something was broken. The only consideration is that probably barbarians won't be properly unleashed before their onset turn.

Maybe it's IP-dependent? I noticed heavy lags a short while ago, and now in my mobile CSS does not work there.

An idea about how unit experience points would work, considering also non-lethal combat. Let's take into account that (a) when some soldiers of a unit die in battle, their knowledge is gone and (b) green recruits got as reinforcements on their place are not as experienced as soldiers that actually s...

Out of fuel units currently try to go to closest fueling location automatically if they have movepoints for that at end of the turn . That's the idea of fuel - if you are out of it without an airstrip in reach, you crash; either you look out or get ready to an unpleasant surprize. To reduce surprize...

Why not go at it the other way around: run a stand-alone lua script (or any executable form) to read Fc3 settings, generate the map based on user choices, save map as scenario file, and then launch Freeciv to play the scenario. Cuz writing a new stangalone application requires extra doing something...

The custom script will not work for AI-players, because we do need a way to communicate the "use it or lose it" nature of the launched missile to the AI. If I recall it well, AI's management of missiles includes little transportation on their own. Or we can tell the script to spare poor s...

Not sure if you could implement this by the Retire unit effect (the mechanism that makes barbarian leaders to disappear) You can't since retirement does not work within 3 tiles from enemy units or cities. The "use it or lose it" design for launched missiles is a long problem still without...

Doubling! Actually, you can just generate any map and then edit the terrain with a script, and then turn the save into a scenario, but that is not very comfortable. We could just run a script on "map_generated" signal, but some API for starting points is needed (well, we could also run on ...
