Re: How do you deal with spies?

I guess I'll just have to double-up my fortress units to protect them against the marauding spies. I've been building fortresses all over the place to protect my wounded Artillery units when they assault the enemy city. I can complete fortresses before the Spanish get their turn to move, but I suspe...

Re: Resource accumulation

My bad. My English is poor. I don't think exhaust level are added to production (shields), but to production cost. I actually misread the posts and thought that your post was written by the topic-starter. Re-reading what you said, it seems that you are thinking of a system where the stockpiles of s...

Re: Custom expanded ruleset loads wrong, incompatible tileset and crashes

FreeCiv certainly loves to crash at the tiniest mis-configuration of tilesets... As for Default Tilesets, I know that the "freeciv-client-rc-2.6" file in the .freeciv folder is where the GTK defaults are stored, and I had to manually edit my default tileset there once. I'm not sure what th...

Re: Trident grafics

Im trying trident art... Does this unit qualify as quinquireme? That looks like either a Longship or a small Galley. Maybe it could pass for a Trireme, but not a Quinquereme. The Trireme and Quinquireme are both dedicated warships meant for fleet battles and ramming. They are named for having 3 or ...

2.6 gtk3 Fonts issues: Resets to default size

Whenever I load a new texture pack or restart the FreeCiv client, the font-sizes for the City-Bar keep resetting to size 10. I was trying to shrink the font to make the city bar smaller and less obtrusive, but every time I start the game I'm faced with big full-sized letters. Any notion why the gtk ...

Re: is it possible to build a canal?

Or alternately you can transform: forest -> swamp -> ocean. Might be a bigger canal than you were hoping for, though.

Re: How do you deal with spies?

Humans are greedy scheming and aggressive far beyond any AI, and are scary in how well they understand the power of First Strike and the implications of a Railroad network. Not only that but they aren't instantly ready to play whenever the fancy strikes you, and make these ridiculous demands about w...

Re: Resource accumulation

The game you're thinking of is Colonization. All resources produced from the map are placed into storage in that city, and can be transported from one city to another by wagons or ships. Most resources in the game are cash crops/luxury goods to be sold in Europe for gold, but some like Lumber and Or...

Re: How do you deal with spies?

I'm playing Portugal on the Europe 1900 map, and my military operations against Spain leave me with few spare resources for such extravagances. Also Britain is a Democracy, so I can't bribe my units back. Not that I have the spare funds to, in any case. I knew in the back of my mind that I should ha...

Re: Made my own version of Sextant

Oh...that looks complicated. :? Fortunately, GriffonSpade already made Sextant 2.6 for me! I'll just make a fresh modification and copy over my image files. 8-) Getting the Amplio cities to work in 60x60 though could be...challenging. The Sextant cities.png contains a number of non-city sprites wher...
