Well, the biggest issue is the one I haven't mentioned (and I should have) is that you can't connect desktop client and web interface to the same server. Which basically means those two are hopelessly separated communities. Which is bad because: 1. Web is superior when it comes to availability and c...

Just a thought... How difficult would it be to enable Freeciv server to communicate with a web interface? And I mean a standard server, that anyone can start. There is a number of people who are playing from computes where they can't install Freeciv and web access would be a saviour. Also, current F...

Ports are 5039 and 5040, I presume?

Well, this may be simply because Freeciv-web is marketed way better than Freeciv and Longturn. The thing to do is market the latter two better, not complain about Freeciv-web marketing.

Yeah, that's of course not realistic. Then again, the whole thing with claimed borders is unrealistic – if one player builds a city no other player can build cities in the surrounding area, even if the player has no form of military control there. I'd like to point you in the direction of the discu...

Furthermore, I wouldn't call the former "Longturn.org". Maybe some other Longturn community/server/group/whatever appears some day. Just "Longturn" may be enough. But, after some thinking, maybe this isn't a good idea. I'd rather explain privately if anyone is interested. Why is ...

Hm, I copy/pasted this into the ruleset and firt I got a warning that there are no "Colonists". Then I changed that to "Settlers" and got Founders at the start.

In SG1 it is enabled which hints that this was so in a number of previous games, too. Could be wrong, though. But if it was enabled, this means you can reduce unhappiness by building a fort on the other side of the world in the middle of enemy territory and people will act as if the units were in th...

Since it seems the admin is making a very drastic cut between the two, maybe this would be a good idea.

Huh, ok, "NoHome" didnt work and I wasn't in the mood for learning LUA and also "giving all players a tech" was a bit too much work, so in the end I did the following: 1. Founder can be built, but costs 60 shields (Settler is 30) 2. Settler obsoletes Founder 3. Requirement for Se...
