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...

Following up on the Medic & Mechanic - I showed those images to my wife and she said she could do better, so I said go for it. These are free and clear GPL license compliant. If you want to use them, use something like these lines in your units.spec file - 4, 4, "u.medic" ; Dee 4, 5, &...

I missed the Freeciv21 bit, yes I'm using regular freeciv.

This looks cool and I will likely have more comments after I look at it deeper. I also implemented a fully fleshed out system of trade goods in my dino2 ruleset, and want to compare the implementation details. I was not able to actually try it in a game, got error messages - Could not find included ...

Thanks for catching that, I've updated the dropbox. It worked on my computer because I have both installed (duh) and so it found something in "dino/units_oversize". Next I want to start working on updated versions for the forthcoming freeciv 3.2.0 release. Maybe incorporate the new "s...

I reported earlier that barbarians were not such a big problem for me, I think I was using the default settings but maybe I was wrong. Maybe the size of the world makes a difference too, larger worlds mean less chance to encounter them. Re. trading techs - it helps a lot to make an alliance with som...
