Freeciv - because civilization should be free!

Code: Select all
"UnitState", "OnLivableTile", "Local"Do you mean Civilization 1 and/or Civilization 2? If performing a spy action while inside a ship is possible the Freeciv 2.6 version of the civ1 ruleset and/or the civ2 ruleset should be changed. (See this post in the Help wanted forum)Steve R. wrote:In Civilization a Diplomat/Spy can "jump" directly from a ship into a city. Freeciv apparently does not allow direct entry into a city from a ship.

Looks like I was a bit to quick. Version 2.6 is a development version. It isn't released yet. I should have pointed this out.Steve R. wrote:Thanks for the quick reply. Always another issue. Grumble. The version of Freeciv that I have is 2.4.4. The advice appears to apply to version 2.6.
You can find the source code in Freeciv's SVN. The branch is called S2_6. If you wish to try it you can compile it your self or find an unofficial compiled version. Maybe there is an Ubuntu ppa that has it?Steve R. wrote:Version 2.6 may not be available for running on a desktop computer.
I just filed a bug report. I assigned it to myself. That means that I'll try to fix the civ2 ruleset so diplomat/spy actions can be done from ships. I can only fix it for Freeciv 2.6 (and 3.0, the next version).Steve R. wrote:Yes, I was playing Civ2 on MS Windows.
I do not believe the Diplomat/Spy can initiate any action external to the ship while inside the ship. I had gone to a plan "B" that avoided the Diplomat/Spy working directly from a ship. Unfortunately, I do not have a game currently open to conduct a quickie test.sveinung wrote:To be sure that I got you right: Is the Civ2 behavior that a Diplomat/Spy can do any action it is capable of (like inciting a city or bribing a unit) while it is inside a ship?

The Freeciv 2.6 (and 3.0) version of the civ2 ruleset now allows performing spy actions even if the Spy/Diplomat is inside a ship. Thanks a lot for letting me know what the Civilization II rule was!sveinung wrote:I just filed a bug report. I assigned it to myself.
