This work is a continuations of advanced ruleset modpack and neolithic ruleset, these projects were combined together, rewritten to version 2.6 of freeciv and extended with new techs, wonders, building and units.
I will describe it briefly here:
- New techs, including some facultative tech branches - not required for mainstream technology tree, but offering some better units or optional wonders/buildings.
- Completely refurbished system of distinctive tiers of military unit classes: Small Land, Infantry, Light Cavalry, Heavy Cavalry, Big Land.
- Turrets, Torpedoes, Bombs can be mounted on ships, airplanes etc.
- Unit HP is related to its armor/persistence, FP depend on weapon era (1 - melee, 2 - gunpowder, 3 - machine gun/explosives, 4 - rocketry/big guns).
- Terrain movement is more challenging, mountains w/o roads accessible only for workers or special (Small Land class) units, rivers are not a roads for regular units.
- New buildings and wonders, adopted to the new technology tree.
- Three faith systems, you need to choose wisely, because most of religion-related improvements/wonders can't coexists in same city/state.
- New governments (First Republic, Direct Democracy, Thalassocracy, Fascism) and altered governments properties, smooth upkeep changes after revolution.
they can fight with other units (but not conquer towns), build a town or be added to the town.
You need Tribe Hut in the town to make new Tribe units - they cost only one population (settlers: two), thus are convenient to fast growth, but once you learn Agricultural Farming, Tribes are no longer available (but you can make City Hall, which may increase city radius, and proceed to Despotism, which offer Martial Law and larger empire ).
Initial government is Tribalism - corruption is relatively high but flat, tax changes are limited and there is no martial law while people are unhappy if you rule too much cities, and science/gold output is decreased.
You need to build Palace by yourself, to change gov. to Despotism
(but it is not a bad news - at least you can decide where the best place for your Capital is, when you already claimed some land).
Whole modpack was done under GPL licence and is hosted by GitHub:
https://github.com/Wahazar/augmented2/tree/longturn
Thanks to the Cazfi help, modpack can be installed by Freeciv Modpack Installer utility: copy this link:
http://149.156.194.203/~mczapkie/fc/aug ... d2.modpack
and paste to the Modpack Installer
Alternative manual installation instructions for github repo: extract files from augmented2-master and copy them all (*.tilespec, augmented2.serv and augmented2 directory with its content) into appropriate freeciv/data directory,
you may find it for example in Document and Settings\You\Local Settings\Application Data\Freeciv-2.6.0*\data if you have MS Windows,
so the proper structure is:
\data\augmented2.serv
\data\augmentedi.tilespec
\data\augmentedis.tilespec
\data\augmented2\...
doc is only informative.
Alternatively you can copy it to .freeciv/2.6/ directory.
To run modpack, you can choose augmented2 from ruleset pull down menu, and accept proposed tileset.
Whole ruleset is optimized for hex topology and its graphics are compatible with hexemplio or isohex tilesets.
It is strongly recommended to use augmentedi or augmentedis tilesets, otherwise you will see only alternative and misleading graphics, if any.
Go for 'local options' and choose 'augmentedi' or 'augmentedis' from the list for iso hex topology.
Augmentedi is a default tileset, if city window is too large, choose smaller tiles: augmentedis, or adjust screen resolution.
I hereby want thank all graphics creators, which were involved in this project and specified in .spec files,
must of all ngujaca for his nextended graphics, XYZ and others participants of this forum for additional sprites, openttd community for some of their works, and some people from civfanatics forum, which allowed to use their work here.
Also thanks Corbeau for some of his ideas, for example reverted tax system and cheap units with higher upkeep.

Tech tree
hi.res. http://149.156.194.203/~mczapkie/fc/aug ... chtree.png
with initial absolutism path as an example.
Tech tree have not only one "golden path", but some "side quests" as well, which lead to interesting strategy in case of alliances in multiplayer mode.
- Main core of tech tree are following branches:
- infantry - Leather Tanning, Warrior Code, Bronze Working, Iron Working, Feudalism, Craft Guilds, Alchemy, Gunpowder, Metallurgy, Explosives, Conscription, Tactics, Chemical Synthesis, Machine Tools, Automobile, Welding Technology, Mobile Warfare, Amphibious Warfare, Combined Arms, Modern Warfare, Super Soldiers
- cavalry - Animal Handling, Horseback Riding, Pastoralism, Sadle Stirrup, Chivalry, Hastilude, Leadership, General Staff, Tactics and forward as above
- entertainment (luxury) - Creative Art, Alphabet, Writing, Drama, Martial Games, Hastilude, Theatre, Cinematography, Mass Entertainment, Television, Computers
- religion (content)
- three main faith paths:
- Polytheism - Creative Art, Ceremonial Burial, Polytheism, Vedism with fork into Shinto, Hinduism, Buddhism/Confucianism and Monotheism
- Christianity - First Republic+Monotheism, Christianity, Theology (mandatory for Republic and Democracy)
- Islam - Desert code+Monotheism, Islam, fork into Shiism and Sunnism.

Unit upkeep is usually same gold/shield/food for each government, but free upkeep threshold differs, for example republic have 3 free shields upkeep, republic 5 free gold upkeep.
Unit tiers description:
LAND UNITS
Land units are divided into classes, which have different properties and mobility.
The rule of thumb is, that upgraded unit newer losses its mobility - it can be upgraded only within its own class, or to better one (for example, Howitzer which belong to Wheeled Unit class, can be upgraded to Self-propelled Howitzer from Big Land class, which has fewer movement restriction).
Small Land - high mobility units,
can go everywhere,
use railroad speed bonus,
can be carried by all means of transport ships, destroyers, Carrier, Engineers, Train, Helicopter, Technical, Armored Train,

ToDo: add terrain transform flag?
Armored Train - high defense strength, bombardment action,
can carry 3 units: turrets, Small Lands or Infantry.
Ships are divided into three classes: River Boats, Triremes and Sea.
River Boats - can go only across rivers, lakes and water locks.
-
Raft - yet the only unit within this class,
can carry all Land units except of Train,
rather slow, but useful especially before Bridges Building era, or for moving siege units along enemy territory.
-
Canoes - first boat in game, unique unit,
can carry one Small Land unit. -
Trireme - universal ship, combat capabilities with other ships,
and slots for 2 Small Land or Infantry units.
Trireme successors are split into two subclasses: merchant barges (no attack, transport), and warships (attack and turret slot)
merchant barges - civilian transport vessels (defense only): -
Aak, Steam Barge, Diesel Barge - can transport land units, like Trireme,
+Light Cavalry Aak, +Heavy Cavalry and Wheeled Units: Steam Barge, +Big Land: Diesel Barge.
Steam and Diesel Barge can also clean pollution and transform terrain, like engineers, no need to carry them inside to do the task.
coastal warships: -
Galley, Monitor - coastal warships, can carry two artillery turrets or infantry units, Patrol Boat: can carry 2 turrets, torpedos or infantry units.
Sea units are divided into following subclasses: transport vessels, small, medium and big warships, submarines.
- transport vessels:
-
Raft with sail, unique unit, can carry one Small Land unit, require Moai Statues small wonder to be built. -
Longship, unique unit, can carry one Infantry unit. -
Caravel, Galleon, Paddle Steamer, Transport - can transport land units, similar to subsequent Trireme classes.
Carrier, can carry Aircraft, Missiles, Small Land or Helicopters.
small warships:-
Brig, Frigate - can carry 1 Turret or Small Land, Destroyer, Railgun Destroyer: Turret, Torpedos or Small Land
medium warships: -
Flagship Frigate (unique unit, obsoleted by Cruiser), Ironclad, Cruiser, AEGIS Cruiser,
can carry 2 Turrets (AEGIS: 3 Turrets or Missiles)
big warships:
Battleship (obsoleted by AEGIS) - can carry 3 Turrets.
submarines:-
Submarine, Nuclear Submarine - can carry Torpedos (Nuclear Submarine also Missiles) -
Junk Sail (unique), Cog (Thalassocracy req.), Clipper, Freighter - merchant ships, same function as caravans.
Aerial units are divided into two classes: Air and Helicopter.
I recommend to do not use unreachable protects setting, Air units have prolonged refuel period, fighter can spend 2 TC in midair,
thus instead protecting whole stack almost whole turn, it can protect tile occupancy without need to refuel each turn - unreachable flag would overpower them too much.
Air units consist of four subclasses:
- Fighters:
-
Airplane, Fighter, Jet Fighter - can attack other Air units, or ground units, directly.
Strike Fighters: -
Strike Airplane, Strike Jet, Stealth Fighter, Antimatter Fighter - can attack other Air or Land units (two first are worse than regular Fighters) as well as can carry GBU or Torpedos.
Fighters and Strike Fighters branches converges into universal Stealth Fighter.

Zeppelin, Bomber, Stealth Bomber, Antimatter Bomber - provide bombard action, Bomber and above can carry GBU/Missiles (in case of Missiles class, only ABomb can be ejected)
Recon. and civilian units: -
Balloon, AWACS - for observation purposes (first also as cheap city protection)
Drone - patrolling, attacking weak units, no unhappiness.- Jetliner - same function as caravans or migrants.
Single uses units consists of the following classes:
Guided Bomb Unit (GBU), sort of short range missile, carried by airplanes
Torpedo, short range Sea single-use unit, carried by Naval or Air units.
Missile, can attack also airplanes/missiles, carried by Naval units
Cruise Missile, can attack land/sea units, carried by Naval units
