it's interested to have units to destroy enemy catapult, when city is under siege, etc. If a target unit selection UI is added to the clients this could be achieved in a 2.6 ruleset. Sabotage unit will halve the target unit's hit points or, if the target only has a single hit point left, kill it. T...

The civ2 ruleset now allows spies and diplomats to perform spy actions while transported inside a ship. See bug #23604. Thanks to Steve R. for letting us know what the Civilization II rule was.

Yes, I was playing Civ2 on MS Windows. I just filed a bug report. I assigned it to myself. That means that I'll try to fix the civ2 ruleset so diplomat/spy actions can be done from ships. I can only fix it for Freeciv 2.6 (and 3.0, the next version). The Freeciv 2.6 (and 3.0) version of the civ2 ru...

Thanks for the quick reply. Always another issue. Grumble. The version of Freeciv that I have is 2.4.4. The advice appears to apply to version 2.6. Looks like I was a bit to quick. Version 2.6 is a development version. It isn't released yet. I should have pointed this out. Version 2.6 may not be av...

I'm not OP. I guess it shows how large the city radius can become. The first image shows the large distance between the cities. The second image shows all the tiles a single city can work when the city radius is expanded.

The Freeciv versions currently in development, Freeciv 2.6 and Freeciv 3.0, have moved more rules to the ruleset. It may be possible to exploit the new ruleset flexibility to make the civ1 ruleset and the civ2 ruleset more like the rules of the games they are based on. When a rule moves to the rule...

You can now forbid Enter Marketplace when Establish Trade Route is legal. See patch #6091 You can now forbid a unit from entering the marketplace (without establishing a trade route) when the same unit legally can establish a trade route. This is done by setting the new option force_trade_route in ...

The rules that a unit can't join or found city when out of moves are no longer hard coded. See patch #6084 and patch #6085 Possible uses: allow a unit to join a city even if the last move fragment was spent moving into the city. the "Hab Tank" unit. Can't move on its own. Can join a city....
