This looks better to me, but still some elements are simple too undefined. Some tweaking of pixels is needed...

Loading 1.5 version gives:
1: "/work/freeciv/modpacks/3rd/S2_4/data/nextended/buildings.ruleset" Capital City obsolete_by: couldn't match "Palace".

obsolete_by needs to be tech (in freeciv-2.4). But I don't think you want to make Capital City obsolete, and automatically sold, as it seems to be needed as prereq for Palace. You will want to adjust some effects to work correctly when both Capital City and Palace are present, either so that Palace gives only additions to Capital City effects or Capital City effects are not active in presence of Palace.

nextended/buildings-large.spec lacks "nextended/" part of the path of several building gfx files where it would be needed. Everything beginning from the "stables" is affected.

I've fixed these couple problems I found in a version available for now in http://www.cazfi.net/freeciv/nextended-1.5-cazfi-1.7z , named so to make sure I'm not messing with any version number scheme you have (not stealing version number 1.5a from you). Changes relative to your 1.5
  • Capital City is made obsolete by nothing (that's not really a change), and does not give error about it (this is the change)
  • Palace has no "Capital_City" effect, but it relies on Capital City building to give it. If city ends up with Palace but no Capital City, it's not the capital
  • Building gfx files are searched from the correct directory

This looks really neat. Is this going focus on just the ancient period or will it stretch into the modern period as well?

What are your plans about porting this to 2.5? It would be useful for me for testing purposes - to make sure that freeciv-2.5 has no problems with a modpack like this. 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.

well the big plan is to make it to the end (to space/future age). but considering how the mod slowly develops (primarily due lack of free time) the mod development is split into periods (tribal/ancient/medieval...) so at least we have something to play with while other stuff is being done.
