whereupon the console saysMore Game Options::"Game Settings"::[Geologial]/Map topology 🗹 Hexagonal
Perusing this file, I find no trace of this option.Saved options to file ~/.freeciv/freeciv-client-rc-3.0
Quit Freeciv completely, launch anew, start a new game : the option is not saved.
Trying to learn more, I find this here that says "Hex topology is the default in new installations. Old installations may have saved preferences that make them still to use iso topology. GNAPATCH#7915"
Mine is ideed an old installation, recently updated to 3.0. I do have the file /usr/share/games/freeciv/civ2civ3/game.ruleset where lines 1234 - 1245 are
Code: Select all
