What are your thoughts on the inclusion of commodity-specific caravans, as mentioned by Dino the Dinosore, and do you believe it's a feature that could add value to modern rulesets?

I actually made a Ruleset that does this very thing, and provides bonuses for certain resources. Check it out here:

I’m INTJ according to that test—no surprise, I guess. I tend to like rulesets that strip things down to the essentials: minimal randomness, clear cause and effect, and space to plan long-term. I usually avoid diplomacy-heavy games unless the AI is predictable, because I get too focused on logic and not enough on the social meta.

What I like about Freeciv is how it lets me build a controlled system, test it, and adapt when things go sideways. I prefer slow-paced, sandbox-like settings where I can tweak strategy over time—probably says a lot about how my brain works.
