Re: More (probably) silly questions

When i looked into it, the incomprehensible ai was removed sometime in the 2.x series in favor of a less competent but more flexible ai. So as I understand, the current ai is fairly well understood.

Re: Is FreeCIV worth playing if I already have all the official CIV games?

Im curious. What didn't you like about civ 4? You say that moddability and community are the biggest factors for you, but civ 4 is the most moddable and has one of, if not the largest community of all the civ games.

Re: Questions about packet format

Ok. Thanks. I have another problem, though. For a jumbo chunk packet, the packet length seems to be wrong. For example, on connection the server sends a packet beginning with \xff\xff\x00\x01\xa12x\x9c\xa4\xbdK\x8c. \xff\xff\ would be 65535, or the max limit of a 16 bit number, marking this packet a...
