Re: new FreeCiv mod development - NExtended
Just wanted to let you know, in the version downloadable from the OP(0.95), all unit classes have "?unitclass:" in front of their names, except for small sea units. Might want to fix that, just in case this gets included and translated.
Other than that, keep it up!

Re: new FreeCiv mod development - NExtended
thnx for the "bug report". The mistake is corrected. In the meantime I already made some other changes but I wont release a new version yet. I must see how I will connect the techs from tribal to ancients and probably some changes in the tribal techs will change.

Here is the quinquereme:

Re: new FreeCiv mod development - NExtended
Nice. Are ancient era ships able to carry settlers and horsies?
Re: new FreeCiv mod development - NExtended
Yes i plan that they have a cargo capacity for small land units. The quinquereme is a larger ship, and it would be able to carry horses as well, but the capacity will probably be one "horse" unit.

The trade ship (junk ship) is done:
This one was tricky; it is a combination of 2d and 3d elements assembled and color corrected.

Re: new FreeCiv mod development - NExtended
So it will not be able to carry more than one "small unit" either. Freeciv has no concept of unit "size". I think we could implement that for 2.6 (bigger units taking more cargo space). Would you find it useful?ngunjaca wrote:Yes i plan that they have a cargo capacity for small land units.

I don't know about ngunjaca, but it would open a ton of new possibilities, and I might as well use it in an own ruleset.cazfi wrote:So it will not be able to carry more than one "small unit" either.

Re: new FreeCiv mod development - NExtended
YES, It will definitely be a nice and useful option. I would also like to see an option to limit the unit number per tile which again is defined in a "size" so we can for instance have one tile with five small land units or 2 big and one small land unit or whatever other combo. Cities would have more "capacity". Id like to hear some other opinions on this.cazfi wrote:So it will not be able to carry more than one "small unit" either. Freeciv has no concept of unit "size".

BTW i saw the new roads system implemented in the trunk freeciv version, all i can say we waited for this a very loooong time and it is great to see it there.

Re: new FreeCiv mod development - NExtended
Yeah, would be a nice idea. Unit classes have a size attribute, terrain types have a capacity attribute, and through effects, the capacity could be increased. That would be my idea. In the default ruleset, all unit classes should probably have a size of 0 though.ngunjaca wrote:I would also like to see an option to limit the unit number per tile which again is defined in a "size" so we can for instance have one tile with five small land units or 2 big and one small land unit or whatever other combo.
