I don't seem able to vote in the poll, but I build my own. I've done some source mods for things like removing the hard-coded interlocks preventing airlifting transporters, so it's necessary, but I've always built my own anyway. I use Slackware; my package management system for decades has been &quo...

I'm too lazy to spend five minutes fixing it manually, but not to spend fifteen minutes messing with bash, sed, and diff to automate it, apparently. Here's a patch for the translation files: --- ../freeciv-3.2.5/translations/core/ar.po 2026-07-09 17:17:29.000000000 -0400 +++ translations/core/ar.po ...

Also just realized it's in all the translations/core/*.po files, too, which I'm too lazy to individually patch.

I just noticed a typo in the autogenerated help text. Here's a quick patch against 3.2.5 to fix it: --- ../freeciv-3.2.5/client/helpdata.c 2026-07-09 17:15:23.000000000 -0400 +++ client/helpdata.c 2026-08-08 17:27:12.671712771 -0400 @@ -3176,14 +3176,14 @@ cat_snprintf(buf, bufsz, /* TRANS: indented...

So I needed a hover landing craft for my ruleset, and the only image I could find for one in the various extended tilesets here isn't very good (it's taken from a photo, and the angle is wrong for iso), so I made one of my own.
It's based on U.S. DoD imagery, so it's public domain.

While I finish updating my custom ruleset from v2.6 to v3.0, I may as well post my latest question. Disasters in my ruleset are disabled by certain improvements. But the AI never actually builds these improvements, so most of their cities get taken out by disasters. While I'm open to other suggesti...

However City Walls that were already built don't immediately get sold off like Barracks did. They remain, and remain effective, until you actually build Curtain Walls Okay yeah, this is what I'm going for with my Sanctuaries!

I have something similar with walls, where I have a series of progressively more advanced walls that take progressively more advanced Artillery units to bypass, so there's an arms race between offensive and defensive technology. But I don't want walls to just vanish when the tech to build better one...
