So glad I checked here before doing too much more work on my own ruleset! The wiki doesn't say much about this, so I overlooked it when searching for modpacks before. It looks like you've already implemented a lot of what I was planning out, and the graphics look fantastic. Can't wait to get home and try it.

Hi Caedo, it is planned that there will be "Mounted" unit classes and the stable will provide faster healing for these class units. I do not intend to make stables a requirement for creating "Mounted" units as this would limit the AI too much and would affect the dynamics of the game in a negative way. So basically it is like Barracks for all foot units in the regular Freeciv, but similar as flying or sea units need special buildings for faster "healing" i decided to do this also for "Mounted" class units.
I am currently doing the Barracks GFX, some WIPs are posted on the blog http://freeciv-mod.blogspot.hr/

Where's the latest version of the modpack as a whole / are you going to make that soon? As freeciv-2.6 d3f (datafileformat freeze) is getting closer and closer (just a couple of open issues left), I would like to test also with your modpack to see that all the functionality it needs is there. For that I need to update the modpack to freeciv-2.6 format, and I'd rather do that just once, converting from latest 2.5 content of nextended.

I can port it myself if needed, but I want to avoid duplicate work if you are already doing that, or have a newer version that should be ported instead of working on the old one.
I did plan to port it to 2.5 when I finish the Ancient era development. since i am buried down in doing graphics when i do work on the mod (and since this work isn't nearly finished), if you have time it would be great if you do it. i did not start working on a newer mod version, neither have i updated/changed the last version of the mod which you provided on this thread so you can use that file.

I have further updated that to S2_6 format: http://www.cazfi.net/freeciv/nextended-S2_6-cazfi-1.7z
