Re: 'Resplendent' Ruleset (expansion)

Impressive project. So if I understand correctly, each nation would have slightly different properties? Is it for AI only, or general? Thanks, it really is a bit of a mess at the moment. It worked best in 2011, ironically, and even then there were big unfinished chunks all over the place. When you ...

Re: Utility to Generate a Graphical Tech Tree from techs.ruleset

The TechTree utility linked there is the only one I know of. No idea if it still works; it might well need tweaking. I've fixed the links on that page to point to files.freeciv.org (where most stuff from download.gna.org ended up), and most of the links now work, including the TechTree one. Thanks!...

Re: Policies' value visible by others.

The idea is about possibility to create policies visible by other player. It is feature for ruleset authors. Imagine we can adjust focus on some way to achieve victory: science, culture or domination. If it could be restricted like tax rates (sum of level of each must be 100) and each policy will g...

Maybe they just smell really bad, so you'd want to keep them at a distance. :D

Re: Second irrigation (farmland)

The construction vodot refers to is only in the current beta/RC versions, 2.6+. In the stable release, 2.5.x, Farmland existence and behaviour is more hardcoded. It is a tech flag that controls when it is available, and you can change which tech(s) have that flag. For instance, from 2.5 data/classi...

Utility to Generate a Graphical Tech Tree from techs.ruleset

There used to be a utility would generate a tech tree from a techs.ruleset file. Anyone know where I could find that?

EDIT: found this page, but the tech tree util seems dead: http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Utilities

Re: 'Resplendent' Ruleset (expansion)

From my original post that combined Resplendent and Civ Traits: Hi all, I've never really posted anything here but years ago I created a private mod back in 2.2/3 that added (in addition to gobs of additional techs, buildings, and units) civ-specific traits and trait-specific units, buildings, and b...

'Resplendent' Ruleset (expansion)

Creating a new topic to track Resplendent, my mega mod which contains expands the Tech Tree (particularly in the Atomic and Digital ages) and doubles the unit count. There is still a lot to be done, but this will give me a place to plan and publish releases. I'm also going to pause on Resplendent fo...

Re: adjustable technology leak rate

There is no option for this in 2.6 aside from setting Tech Leak to "Embassies" (The weakest of the three tech leak settings). If you want to get nuts (LET'S GET NUTS!) then you can find the math itself in 'research.c' in the /common folder. I've copied it below: case TECH_LEAKAGE_EMBASSIES...

Re: River boats/ships

I think this clearly indicates that (some) 'bigland' units could be (and were) carried on triremes. I do not understand the point of denial. The key word in the above quote is "some". Catapults used in Civ are wall-breaking heavy units that create a big advantage in the field. Not the one...
