So I was doing play-testing of some custom ruleset features I'm working on, adding to the civ2civ3 ruleset. I noticed, what seemed weird to me, that the AI got the Great Wall wonder very quickly, in what I thought was suspiciously few turns between when I saw the message "Aztecs have started bu...

I have never gotten a trade request from an AI player, didn't know it was possible. I always play on AI skill level "Hard" - maybe you're on an easier level and that makes the difference.

Do you have C coding skills? My understanding is that the reason the AI is sub-optimal is because its source code needs improving. I have been learning how to contribute patches and hope to eventually get to the point of tackling some of the AI code. My own opinion is that I wish more work would be ...

I thought of using lua to add Krakens and immediately thought that couldn't possibly work, but after reading your comment it occurred to me - what if I add them as Pirates instead of Animals? So I tried that and it doesn't work because at turn 1 (when you would use lua to add the Krakens), the Pirat...

I was seeing some similar issues in 3.1.5 using the qt client when the zoom level was changed. 3.2.0 has been looking OK.

Turns out the Storms were not working, so I had to re-do things, and updated my dropbox with corrected versions. The problem is that a terrain can have only one animal and the storm unit is implemented as an animal. So I had to deep-six the Krakens. Hopefully some day there will be an enhancement th...

Wow John, that's an awesome writeup. Could you add it to the wiki?
http://www.freeciv.org/wiki

there is a patch for it in Freeciv21.

Could you post that patch here? I'd like to see if I can incorporate it into the Freeciv code.
