Re: Are the action target kind names clear enough?

Not an English speaker (as many of ruleset authors), but it seems strange that you put them in plural. Maybe we should keep singular as in the code. "stack" is even more comprehensive than "units", maybe we should combine it into "units of a stack" to stress that target...

Re: Year fragments and the Space Race

I'd vote for assuming uniform year fragments. It should be the default any way.

Re: Obligatory hard action requirements you want dropped

I've thought about that too, and I really like the idea, but I figure we should probably put that off until after we've figured out how transported units defending their transport works . I mean, when you've got a capturable transport full of capturable cargo, sure, everything's obviously gonna wor...

Re: Throne room or palace plus music

Not that it is in close developers' plans. The community is concentrated on gameplay related elements, that's why the graphics are, umm, rather old-fashioned, we still don't have even a pictogram for hospital, and no palace or talking heads have ever been here. I have once made a proposal that inclu...

Re: Obligatory hard action requirements you want dropped

I think, the best goal of the mentioned is paradropping in a tank (well, unhardcoding the UCF is also necessary but it really needs a lot of attention). The leak of diplomatic states between allies hardly is a problem, so just check the cargo and say _("Can't paradrop %s with %s's %s aboard int...

Re: Generalized auxiliary parameters in is_req_active()

Well, yes, I'm a mostly amateur programmer and can't yet get rid of "it can be encoded in 3 bytes, why do we use 4" logic :roll: Surely struct can reduce the amount of recoding, though each one exotic requirement factor will intristically still have global impact (but I hope the struct doe...

Re: Some air units related oddities

2. Any units can attack from carriers if they are over native terrain, even if they can't disembark the carrier. (For that reason, in LT54 cargo planes are limited to non-military classes). Bombardment and diplo actions can be restricted for a transported unit but not attack. I don't understand. Di...

Generalized auxiliary parameters in is_req_active()

A post mostly about the developer's side. The function is_req_active(), that stays behind all the requirements system, has now uncomfortably many parameters. Additionally to target player, city, unit and tile, there are other local parameters that specify objects in relation to which the requirement...

Re: Why won't the game let me steal technology?

In multiplayer, stealing should be possible if:
* diplomat or spy has moves left and is on livable tile (not in a ship on the sea);
* target player is not barbarian and has what to steal.

To meet a player, you must have an embassy there (contactturns=0).
