I'm on a much older Mac (11.7) and building with MacPorts because homebrew doesn't support Macs that old. I have found gtk4 client very buggy - when it first comes up the menubar doesn't work, have to change to another app and change back to get it to work. It also prints out tons of warnings. I sus...

I haven't been able to figure out how to actually open a ticket. I don't think the freeciv bug tracker likes my browser.

You need to have an account and be logged in. Then you should see a "New issue" clickable link in the upper right.

Also, annoyingly, the tech-tree skein generator for the Research tab apparently doesn't distinguish between positive and negative tech requirements, so City Walls appear on the tech tree under both Masonry and Construction, with no indication that the latter makes it so you can't build them. and li...

Agree capturing is cool - I have that in one of my custom rulesets. Also like the Founder unit. I have that in both of my custom rulesets, and think it would be a good idea to incorporate that in the official supplied civ2civ3 ruleset, and/or the sandbox ruleset. "your first city has to be in a...

I have 1 city size 6, and the Japanese (who have shared vision with me) have 4 cities sized 3,2,1,1 (total 7). When I do the demographics report it shows me as #1 in population, which seems wrong. Digging into the code, it's because of this code in common/city.c /************************************...

It's been so long that I don't remember the details. Most likely I was baby duck imprinted with Civ2 and didn't like that Civ4 was so different. That imprinting also explains why I like FreeCiv - it's a better version of Civ2.

Communities are good. Back in the glory days of Civ2 there was a great thriving community on the old Apolyton forum - that's where I first got into doing the 1-city challenge. In addition to the Longturn community that Corbeau mentioned there is a (maybe smaller) community here on this forum. I love...

I investigated some more about changing the ui name for actions, and yes there are bugs, but I don't think they can be fixed. The help in supplied actions.ruleset files says - What each action should be called when showing them to the player. Using the "pillage" -> "raze" example...

Oops, that code example is for version 3.3, the version for 3.2 is
I think the fact that it only partially works could be a bug.
