Galactic Ruleset
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2015 8:17 pm
The Galactic Ruleset still exists and is still available for download from the files area of the Galactic Milieu project's Sourceforge presence:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/galact ... /releases/
I have just done a first pass at updating it to work with Freeciv 2.4, not sure yet if I missed anything.
Most of the "docs" about the Galactic Milieu are on the Devtome wiki, starting from the main topic:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=galactic_milieu
Is there a "continue play even when you are the only player" option yet in Freeciv?
I am told commercial Civ games tend to allow that nowadays, since who does not enjoy playing around on THEIR planet once it is truly, exclusively, only THEIRS?
It gets kind of silly everyone having to keep a zoo city of some foreign nation on their planet simply so they can proceed from single-planet play into the Galactic Milieu...
One of these days it would be nice also to not have to stop the games and hack savegame files to move starships from planet to planet. But simply being able to have a planet to yourself and still play would be a nice start toward having Freeciv work nicely in the Galactic Milieu without having to custom patch it or keep a zoo.
