Variant2
Posted: Sat Aug 03, 2013 8:48 am
Since late 90's I've played all my real (as opposed to just freeciv testing) games with our own ruleset. I'm now making new ruleset, variant2, forked from it publicly available. Homepage of the new ruleset is http://www.cazfi.net/freeciv/variant2/. I'm doing this for future versions (freeciv-2.6 on) only. No backports to earlier freeciv versions, sorry.
While this ruleset starts as copy of our own ruleset that has traditionally been quite conservative in making changes, I think variant2 will serve me as next playing ground for testing new freeciv ruleset options. The previous ruleset that played that role, alien ruleset, is now stabilizing to be released as part of freeciv-2.6 and it should no longer get random changes "just because".
